Dear Mom, Dad, Mary Virginia & John,Hi! Your letter arrived Friday afternoon. I also notice another week has gone by and I didn't get the letter to Mary Virginia written as I mentioned last week I was going to do. The weeks seem to go by so fast.
Wendy is sitting in her stroller on the patio right now – singing (if you want to call it that) and waving her cup around in the air. It is quite a pleasant day – temperature around 70º and quite breezy. Yesterday it threatened rain all day so it is nice to have it clear today.
Gerry got some sort of 24-hour bug on Friday night but after spending practically all of the night and Saturday in the bathroom he felt well on Sunday and we went to Big Basin State Park. We hiked about 6 miles on the trails and still left quite a few to hike the next time. Big Basin is the one we went to with DeeDee after Henry Cowell – up through Felton & Ben Lomond. We had thought we might have Sunday brunch at the Greenhouse in Soquel but cars were parked for a mile on either side of the entrance and people were standing in a long line in the driveway so we had our brunch at a small cafe in Boulder Creek.
What are your plans for the summer? Do you think you might be able to get out this way? We feel somewhat guilty that we have not been able to get back to Ohio or Maine but we have our next vacation to remedy that situation. At any rate, we look forward to your next visit to Gilroy. Now that I can ride my bicycle I have become acquainted with the sights to be seen in the back streets of Gilroy as well as our Sunday trips to the parks in the area.
Thanks for the articles – we must have been thinking about the spacing of children at the same time.
It is about Wendy's lunchtime as well as time for the mailman to come so I will close. I'll look forward to talking to you on Friday, Mother.
Love,
Catherine, Gerry & Wendy
