January 19, 1974Dear Mary Virginia,
Hi! How's everything with you? Right now I'm at work – and you would never believe the excitement right outside our door. As the back of this paper says – there are all kinds of cats & dogs for sale. There are lots & lots of people all around – especially alot of children. It's pretty noisy – dogs barking & children yelling!
We got your SHORT letter – but you know when your write such short letters you have to write more often. When you can you should try & write Grandma – she always enjoys from you – so do the rest of us but we can all read the same letter!
You all have really gotten out of alot of school this winter – due to the nasty cold weather! Will you have to make any of that up? That's one thing the kids can't do down here – miss school due to snow & ice!
I'm glad you got the doddle [doodle?] board – I got one for myself too – except I got myself a fish one – since I eat so much fish! HA! I use mine as a lap board when I write – you know kind of like a clip board.
What do you do to make money now that you don't deliver the News-Journal anymore?
OH – now the people are beginning to walk through the department w/their new cats & dogs. What an interesting day at work!!
Did Serena come home for her birthday? How old is she now – 19 or 20? We're all getting so old – can't you just me at 40 – I'll probably still be in school – HA!! Or how about at 80!!!
Have you heard from Catherine/X lately? It's been a LONG time since I have. Of course – I probably owe them a letter!!
Well – I better go – say hello to everyone for me – and do write me when you can!!
Love, Berta
