Dear Mother, Dad, Mary & Mie Young,
Hi! What's new in Ohio? We had lots of snow here on Saturday and Sunday and then yesterday it started to rain and is still raining today so the snow is almost gone. Very messy weather.
I meant to tell you on the phone, Mother, Wendy loves the advent calendar. It has really helped her count the days until Christmas or at last be more aware of what the date is. I just opened one of them. I gave her the Sunday School books and thought I would save the other coloring book for Christmas. We didn't really decide on the phone which present you would like to give her. Do you have any preference? I should find out today how much of the order arrived (hopefully all of it). It will be almost too late to order anything else. The stores here don't have a very broad selection.
I signed Wendy up for dancing lessons. Several of her friends have been taking them. The teacher picks them up at the Day Care center and takes them to the Grange (across the street practically going toward the Elks) where the classes are held. After the class I will pick her up and take her back to Day Care. We told Wendy it was a Christmas present. She has her first class tomorrow at 10:30 and then not again until the first Wednesday in January. We are going to get her the required ballet shoes for Christmas. And she will also need "ballet pink" tights. It costs $18.00 per month which seems steep but . . . .
We are thinking of getting a water bed for Christmas. Our bed is becoming increasingly unsatisfactory. It was guaranteed for 10 years (prorated) and we have had it half of that. It doesn't bother me much but Gerry's back is alot more sensitive and he wakes up all stiff. One of his friends who had similar back surgery has a water bed and is very strong in favor of them. We figured our bed would fit into DeeDee's room but with not much room to spare. Then we would put the bunk beds in Wendy's room.
We are looking forward to a few days without meetings. Gerry has Lodge on Thursday night the 17th and then no more meetings for either one of us until Tuesday, Jan. 5. On Thursday of that week we will be leaving for convention. We are both looking forward to that also. I think Wendy will be staying with the Woll's. Got to go . . . ...
Love, Catherine, Gerry, & Wendy
