Dearest Catherine,Thanksgiving weekend is over and things are beginning to settle back to normal again. We did miss you so much but hope you enjoyed your day in Battlecreek (or is it Battle Creek?)
We did enjoy our visit with the Bruces though Mary Virginia was so full of cold. Then we stayed all night at the Sheraton Dayton almost caddy-corner from Rikes. But it was so crowded that day (Friday) that we were glad to get out of there.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that because Roberta hadn't been feeling too well she got permission to come home with J.N. Careys and called us from Interstate 71 and 72 Wednesday evening and we picked her up there. We had been conferring back and forth with Barnesville but didn't know she was actually coming until she called. She went back with them last evening – we took her to 71 and 35 to meet the Careys there. She was feeling much better and hope all goes well with her from now on.
Patty had her Hawaiian girl friend with her at church yesterday – she evidently had spent the weekend there. She is a most attractive girl. I spoke with Weegie briefly. She looks real cute with her hair cut real short. Her mother was moved to a private room and is allowed visitors so will try to get over this week. They have removed the trachea tube so it takes some getting used to breathing normally again.
Romeo and Juliet was put on Friday and Saturday evening but things just didn't work out for us to go. Serena and John went Friday and Serena was going to baby-sit when we went Saturday evening but then she had her Sunday School Class Party at Rupps on Saturday night and had to take all the refreshments out for that and various other reasons just didn't make it.
We saw Greg, Carolyn, Marlena and Sybil at church too. They have tentatively set the Post High Christmas party for the Thursday after Christmas which would be Dec. 28, I guess.
Mrs. Bees called and wanted to know if Roberta would baby sit Saturday evening (she told her she was busy as she and Nancy Walker had tentatively planned to get together) so then she asked for Serena and of course she had plans to go to Rupps so Mrs. Beers said that she guessed she would take the boys to the play so another reason to stay home.
Mary Virginia left her blanket at Bruces so she has been lost without it. I told her she would probably get it in the mail so she keeps wanting to go out to the mailbox (Fife's) to see if it has come.
We wonder if Joe was able to get in touch with you. Roberta had a letter from Mrs. Schamaun and she said that Greg is working at some real fancy restaurant in Daytona and has to wear black fancy suit (perhaps tux) and cummerbund (sp? – wide fancy belt). He has waited on one of the Rockefeller family.
Really nothing new around here but counting the days till you get home. (How?)
Love and Kisses,
Mother
Glad to receive your long letter and 2 cards.
