Dear Mother, Dad, and Mary,
Hi! Wendy thinks it is her turn again [to type] already so I can see I am going to have to type fast! Gerry is playing golf right now and Wendy and I are going to join him and play another nine holes in a few minutes. We decided not to get a babysitter today being as it is father's day. Happy Father's Day, Dad! Hope you got the card before the big day.
We are having a beautiful day today for a change! Maybe this is the beginning of the nice days! Madras has been inundated since Wednesday with a convention of "Good Sams" at the fairground. It is some kind of Recreational Vehicle organization. The newspaper estimated 800-1000 families are here with the farthest ones coming from Illinois. This is an annual deal that is held here every year. The stores always go out big with promotions like sidewalk sales, etc. The town doesn't seem the same with all the extra people milling around. Evidently none of them had toothaches though as they didn't come into the dental office on Friday.
Gerry put the boot into the truck on Friday with the help of one of his friends. It involved taking out the back window of the truck and the front window of the canopy and then putting this boot in between to seal off the opening from the outside. With the new carpeting it really changes the look of the interior. Wendy is looking forward to DeeDee's arrival so they can ride in the back of the truck together.
Well, we just got back from the golf course. Wendy made it around another nine holes. We had some slow people in front of us so it gave Wendy plenty of time to rest. Now if we can just keep her awake until after dinner she will probably get a good night's sleep tonight.
It is now Monday a.m. Wendy did stay awake until after supper last night -- but by then she had her second wind and as usual had a difficult time going to sleep. At least she sleeps well once she zonks out! Another nice day today so I think our yukky weather is over for a few months.
We have decided to save our money and not go somewhere fancy over the 4th. If we do go anywhere we will probably camp. Not too much going on this week. The Elks monthly birthday dinner is on Wednesday and Wendy always enjoys that. June and July birthday both are celebrated this month as there won't be another birthday dinner until September which will be for August & September both. In August the Elks will be having their annual picnic. I also have Bunco this week as it was postponed from last week.
Time to go!
