Dear Mom, Dad, Roberta, Serena, John, Mary and Grandma,
Hi! Thanks from [for] the post card from Cleveland. Hope you had a good time in Bahamas, and hope the rest of you managed to survive at home.
We only have a couple of more days of class and then we'll be finished with a whole semester at that great place of higher higher education, WMU, RAH! RAH! I think I've learned alot so that makes it all worth while.
Roberta, we have taken your idea of making candles and are going at it on a large scale. We have a bucket of sand and push the sand around to make a sort of a mold, and then pour the melted wax in. Works really well. We're going to give some of them away as Christmas presents.
Since K is closed for break, we've been working 8-5. It certainly is different than working 5-11. Especially money-wise, like the difference between $12.00 and $32.00. Next weekend we're planning to take half of Friday and/or Monday off and go visit Bruce in Eureka, Illinois. We'll plan on coming to New Vienna whichever weekend you get your Eagle think, John. So keep us informed.
Mrs. Pinkham's husband (aged 49) had a brain hemorrhage two weeks ago. She wasn't at work for about a week and a half. I guess he's getting better now so she's there most of the time.
It seems than when I'm not writing to you I think of all sorts of things but when I start typing they all vanish from my mind.
I'm not sure yet whether we are going to mail Christmas presents to you or wait until we come. The latter is more probable. That way you could stretch Christmas out longer. (You don't have to keep the Christmas tree up that long.)
John, there ae a bunch of Dick's old sweaters which I have put in a box to bring down to you. They're probably too big now but might fit you eventually.
12/15
The latest news is that both Dick and I have applied for a job at the technical library at Upjohn Co. We had an interview yesterday and the chances are good that one of us will get the job. The title would be Reference Circulation Assistant and would be for 20 hours hours/week. The pay is $3.50+ /hour. Wow! Will that ever help our budget! We should know by the end of the week.
Grandma, we got your check & Christmas card today. Thanks alot! It was just what we needed, especially appropriate since we finished up our exams today and it is also our 4th month anniversary.
It looks like both Dick and I will get two A's and a B. Although our B's are in different courses.
