This has been another busy week. Tuesday night was School Board Meeting for Daddy and I had Enright Circle meeting at Mrs. Struppers [or Struffers?] Roberta stayed the short time (about ½ hour) that no one was here to look after them. All went well.
Wednesday I did some shopping in Wilmington as well as did some errands -- John and Wilma Croghan went along. Daddy went over to the auction Banyas [?] Buick was having. That evening the Womans Club held their Guest Night program at Snow Hill and the Wilmington College [Indecipherable] Choir gave a most interesting recital. Frances Terrell sings with the group and so does one of Mr. Robinson's son (of Buckeye Molding). The Rudisills invited the Lockrau's [?] -- he is a nephew of Mr. Robinson.
When I was at school Thursday I heard Cheryl Cluxton calling her mother about some of the 7th graders wanting to buy a gift for Mr. Perry. Some were willing & others didn't want to. Sounded as if they had $8.50 to buy him a briefcase.
Friday night New Vienna played Woodrow Wilson (Soldier & Sailor's Home of Xenia) here and Roberta invited six to stay overnight -- Nancy, Jennifer, Linda Shaffer, Mary Pat Clear, Sue McKenzie, and Kathy Cornelius. They had a treasure hunt gift exchange and talked most of the night. The last of them went home after lunch yesterday -- then we all went to bed.
Serena was invited out to Betty Ann Walkers so had plenty of empty beds as we had seven sleeping bags across the living room floor.
I've got most of the Christmas cards out but thought I'd never get started. We got one from Kim's father, one from the New Zealand Hiestands but will save them for you to see.
John had the 24 hour virus last night complaining of a terrible tummy ache and the heaves. He's better today but didn't go to Sunday School for he seems to have some fever. Serena thought she had a terrible sore throat so she stayed home too but is much better this afternoon.
There was a big fire out at the barn across from the Country Club where Williamses live -- Daddy said you could see it from downtown. It burned down completely but they were able to save the other buildings.
There was a fire yesterday afternoon out at Marilyn & Carolyn Van Zants but hear they got it out before the fire truck arrived.
Tuesday night there is another band show between the basketball games. Wednesday night is the Cantata at the church so doubt if we write again before we leave. Looking forward to seeing all of you & hope Catherine will be ready to go home with us --

Got your letter this morning. Have we asked you about how much piano practice that you are getting in? B & O just called and 21 of the 25 baskets of fruit arrived. Glad to hear that your MYF is going out next Saturday night. We will see you before that
Watch the sun burn. --Daddy
