1979 Roberta's Postcards -March

[postmarked Mar 7 1979]
Tuesday AM

[To Uibles:]
We spent the whole weekend on the go – studied GRE the short while we were home.  K-Mart had files (4-drawer) advertised so we went to "our" K-mart – also Tempe's – all sold out – came home called East Mesa's one – they had 1 beige one left $54 – usually $89 – good buy!  I sold the 10-speed bike  got $50 out of it – what I asked for it – put that $ toward the file.  Jo Pittman – Maria's ex-friend from Ill – bought bike – Dorothy actually sold it through Mesa school employee pages.

Also got a cabinet for sewing machine – got floor model so had few scratches on it – got $30 knocked off price –picked up bikes last night – baskets sure are nice – we had to pay $5 for the guy to install basket & turning signals – he said it took him 3 hours – that was well worth it –

Good to talk to you all on Sunday – suppose to be in 80's today!  Did you all take GRE test?  Should take it under better conditions – all at 1 time!

Love, Berta

[To John:]

Hi, John – Good to get your letter & pictures – good ones –

I've signed up to take GRE again – am really studying the vocab part – did you take the test?  Will take it again 28 April – in Tempe –

Julia Soloman [?] is to come 13-21st of April.  Same tame as I.T. – not perfect planning.

Your job opportunities sound interesting – my summer plans are in the air – perhaps New Vienna if I do go to school in fall & if there is work there for me – Farm is out – esp. with you not there but what about the T-shirts?

Up in mid 80s – riding the Hondas lots – got baskets & turning lights on them!

Love,
Berta
