Hi Family –I don't know where the time goes – but doesn't seem I've written for quite awhile! Perhaps this summer I'll be a better correspondent!
Right now I'm out sitting by the pool – have read the Sunday paper – been in the water for about 40 minutes – Marion & I.T. came over w/ me – about 10:00 – Marion isn't really swimming – but she does enjoy the water. Her freckles are coming out in full. We went to early church – so now have the day ahead of us – They have cut out the 11:00 service – as of today. The crowds are really thinning down – in fact only 1 section of the pews have been used the last couple of Sundays.
The truck is getting 27.5 miles to a gallon – that is almost 100% in-town driving w/ air conditioning. I'm curious what it would get on the highway. Buffie really likes the comfort of the bed of the truck – and he can peek over at us. He really does have a good life!
I have a final interview w/ the Sheriff's office this week – I want to quit Central in a bad way – but then I hate to lose my "in" w/ both the county & the schools.
Dad wouldn't you like a Uible (ME) to represent you in this area?? I know I could do it – and would enjoy it – I'll never take another office job again!!
Mary Virgin1a – I'm sorry it didn't work out for you to come – just don't spend your $ so you will be able to come out later.
Last night we went to see the movie "Annie Hall" – I didn't care for it at all – there was no story to it – and it cost $3.00 – have any of you all seen it? If you haven't – Don't!!
I finished my needle point yesterday started it when Marion went in the hospital – so almost took me a month. It's a combination Mother's Day – Father's Day present so you all will be seeing it some time.
There are all kinds of changes all around Mesa – alot right near us. The City Projects (my name for the housing development) right caty corner from U/totem on Alma School – they are almost completed. Then the lot w/ the old house right across the street from there – right next to the U/Totem coming this way – has been torn down – and they are bulldozing all around. Don't know what will go up there.
It's really HOT – I keep going back in the water to cool off – Dorothy & her daughter & son have come over w/ us several times to go swimming – last week at work – we rode back & forth together & had lunches at one another's houses.
Marion, I.T. & myself all went to the Dean Witter office in Scottsdale –– it's near the shopping center w/ the Goldwaters store – on Camelback Rd – near Scottsdale Rd. We called ahead of time – and met Debbie – Marian's stockbroker – she has only been in the business 8 months – was an air line stewardess for PanAM for 5 years after she graduated from college w/ an English major – She is currently working on her Masters in business at ASU – Marion has been thinking about it & did buy 50 shares of Ariz Public Service stock when they offered it last week at 19 something. She follows Honeywell like a hawk – she looks at stock page in paper 1st thing every night! Seems she has taken a big interest in the Wall Street world –
Will close for now – going in the air conditioning – and cool down!
Love,
Roberta
