1977 MV's letter -Dec.27

[12-27-77?]
Dear Mom & Dad,

Hi!  Right now Roberta and [I] are at the school – sorry she just left.  She went for an interview for her new job.  She's had me working most of the morning, filing, alphabetizing stuff, etc.  How boring!!!!

John, you'll be glad to know that we got all the way to Gila Bend Ariz. on your tank of gas!!  I was about to have a nervous break-down, because we'd been riding on empty for about 30 miles, and Roberta thought it was exciting!!!  We only made 2 stops - one for 5.00 worth of gas, and the other for cheese-burgers, which we ate on way.

Well, as soon as we got back, we dropped our stuff off, and went to pick up Buffie.  Buffie was over-joyed to see us – but it wasn't exactly the same way with us – he smelled as if he had chased a cat thru' the sewer!  So we decided to hose him down it was so bad.  Poor Buffie!  After that he still smelled a little bit, so Roberta decided to get an appointment to give him a bath.  But, last nite, when we went over to pick the Buick, Buffie almost went to the bathroom on the ladies good carpet!  So last nite Roberta set out newspapers, and told Buffie, if had to go, to go on the newspapers.  Well, he did it but not on the newspapers!  What a head-ache!!!!  Remind me to stick with the Silver Streak!!!

Well, today Roberta topped all of her bad days.  When she went out to go to her interview, she discovered that she had left the key that locks the locked door to the Nova.  So she called the police, who told her to call the Fire Dept. who couldn't get in so she called the lock-smith who finally got it to open for $15.00.  And the afternoon is yet to come!!!!

If I get any Mail, please send it here!  Thanks!!

Love
Mary Va. (A.K.A. Frizz Wiz)
