Dear Family,
Yesterday was really my mail day, got your letters, plus one from Grandma. I was going to get my income tax stuff done over the weekend, but didn't get it done. So came home yesterday, and went right to it. I'm getting a big refund, thats the reason for the rush to get it in this year!!
After talking to you all last night, called Dad this morning to find out from him which airport and what time he would prefer Ruth to Fly out of. Then called the Airlines and got a good reservation for her on the 15th out of Columbus (which Dad suggested) at 3:50. He had said sometime between 3 and 4 in the afternoon. She will get in here at 7:30 so that is really a good flight for her. I'm going to pick up the ticket tonight.
Seems like we have really been busy the last couple of weeks. Mandes' as you know got into their new home. They have all these projects going now. Over the weekend we went to see the movie "The Goodbye Girls" It was really good – super funny. We plan to se Heroes soon Mary Virginia. Have you seen any other movies?? This weekend is the play "Bubbling Brown Sugar." I noticed that in April My Fair Lady is coming to Tempe – A.S.U. auditorium. We noticed that the 2nd part of The other side of the Mountain is going to start this weekend. But we will wait until when you all come to go and see it.
Sunday at Church there was another special program. This time the group from like age 5 to 12 put it on. It was called 100% chance of rain. All about Noah, and all that stuff. Really enjoyable. The Church is having a bazaar in a week or two. Marion has been cleaning out some of her things. We took three big bags with us last week, which was just a beginning. She also has a bag or two saved for Mary Virginia. Mostly clothes. No, as for the couch, she did not get the one she had been wanting. Wait till you all get here and see the changes.
Hi! Here it is Wednesday morning. I seem to have trouble getting this letter out! Called Ruth this morning to let her know of the reservations, she seemed all excited. It will just be a week from today that she will be coming. I sent her ticket last night, registered mail . . . no certified mail. It was going to cost some $3.00 for registered mail!!!
Last night ate out at Humpty Dumpty here in town. They have a giant size toy chest but you have to ask the cashier to open it up for you . . . power operated. I didn't know that, and almost broke it trying to get the thing opened. Then we went to the first of these series of classes at the Church. I was the youngest one there, then there must have been a few between my age and Marion's but we were still the youngest by far. It should be interesting. Its on the book of John and will last 7 weeks.
Marion's Wednesday night class did not get started, not enough people. She is really upset . . . wants to get into either another class or something this semester. If not she will have to go this summer which she does not want to do. Her and I.T. have plans just to travel and take life easy.
I had a letter from Grandma, which I will be sending on . . . . . not now but later, as I'm at work now, trying to get this out so I can mail it when I go for Lunch. Which is 1 minute away now.
Mary Va. you are welcome to come . . . but we know that you would like to see the Bruces and all that. We were saying last night that if we could get a AA-Con [?] car to San Diego that weekend we would, and then drive back with you all. Where do you all plan to stay and all that? Also, when do you plan to leave? I'll be off that Monday, and Marion can take off.
In Grandma's letter she writes that Rob has written Mr. Ream about going to the farm. Also that John is playing with the idea of coming to Florida and then driving her back.
How long will the Morgans be in San Diego??? I'd really like to see you all that weekend if things work out. Must go . . . . .
Love, Berta
