Jan. 23 – [1979]
Dear John –How does it feel to be entirely upon your own while at home? At least you can talk to the flowers in the window or on the table. It is said that will make them grow better.
The postman was very good to me yesterday as there were 3 letters in the mail for me. One your Dad had sent & was glad to know you had arrived home safely after reading about the bad western weather. We enjoyed hearing from you while on your trip. A letter from your Mother & one from Roberta. Hope she can manage that motor bike & doesn't have an accident. Ariz seems to have weather difficulties this winter. It is rather cool here this morning. We have the heat turned on.
Cris & Marita went to Hawaii the first of the month and have returned home bringing apples back with them. They sent us 3 from N.C. & they were very good. It was my job to cut the fruit into pieces after some one sliced them. Cris phoned us last week wanting to know how ours tasted (which were very good) for he said theirs were soured. I wonder what went wrong for that seems strange we would have the good ones & theirs no good. It seems as if M's folks gave her the money for a trip to Hawaii for a graduating present so Cris had to pay his own way & he thought it a little hard on his budget & M. would hardly want to go alone. They thought it a wonderful place to visit.
I had 4 more avocados given to me (especially) & the family which is evidently the last from the tree. They have been so good.
Fri. morning the Tourist S.S. Class had their class meeting at 10 o'clock & a lady from another class gave a book review name of book I can't recall at this time but was interesting. About one of the former writers of the Upper Room. Mrs. Henry knew him personally & he was a great traveler & as a young man very poor financially & at one time made the trip around the world with one suit of clothes & a few belongings. We didn't serve refreshments because we are all to the age that no one volunteered. We had a nice meeting anyway.
Sat. at 8:15 Aunt M., Marianne, Robert, W., Rob, his girl friend Kim & myself left for Miami & spent the day at the Seaquarium. Very interesting. Rob took me around in the w. chair & we had a very interesting day & the weather perfect for a change but we did wonder at times if it might rain. It was a little cloudy so we didn't have the hot sunshine to bother.
Last evening Mrs. Murphy & John had us for supper & we had a nice evening with them. I must do a little morning work in my room so must get busy.
Love,
Grandma
