Dear Mom, Dad & Mary V.,Hi! It was nice talking to you last night. I forgot to ask where you took Grandma for her birthday. It must be/have been busy with the Hortons there. How is Marianne & her boys? Did you go out to eat with them?
Wendy is doing fine. Her sunburn has faded over night (we put Noxema on it) and she is in a good mood today. She just pulled herself up to a standing position by the sofa which is a first. She has also started lifting her feet up & bending her knees when we "walk" her. Only she likes to take gigantic steps which is rather awkward. She likes Wesley to play with her - he is just over 2 – but he is so rough – it makes us nervous. He is not used to being around babies.
Tonight we are going to stay with Frank & Elma as they have asked us several times to stay with them and we have always stayed with Hal & Cindy [parents of the above mentioned Wesley]. But now Frank & Elma have gotten settled in their house, which they bought about 3 months ago.
We liked both King's Canyon & Sequoia Nat'l Parks. Those big trees are really something and to think they came close to chopping them all down a hundred years ago. . . . controlled fires within the parks & national forests.
We are taking DeeDee to Yosemite though to see the waterfalls. Her friend, Stacia, is coming with us and will then fly back to San Diego in a couple weeks. Stacia is her friend from San Diego – her parents are from Maine but her father is in the Navy.
Gerry plans to take a few more weeks – to tour northern California and possibly Oregon & Washington before looking for another job in the Gilroy area as we would really prefer to live there rather than in San Diego.
I will try to send Mary's things.
Love, Catherine, Gerry & Wendy
