1990 HH Letter -Jan.13

[There are two letters from HH on this same date, very similar but one has about 1½ more paragraphs.  In addition to the letter shown above I'll add the 1½ paragraphs from the other letter so we don't miss anything.]

January 13, 1990

Dear Family:

Back into the N.V. routine, tho some what out of balance with your Mother in Illinois with Serena.  Fortunately getting along fine and I hope to go out this next weekend.  Today was a nice day, cleaned up the yard and chopped some stumps out.

Our month in Arizona is now like a dream.  After living in an apartment, our house seems like a palace.  Slowly getting back into the NV routine, tho I definitely miss your Mother, but am glad she can help Serena, who will get out of the hospital tomorrow.  We are indebted to the Kings and the Morgans for all their hospitality and tender loving care.  After going to Wendy's spelling bee I must be careful in my own spelling.

The piano is an adjustment after using the keyboard . . . miss the keys being marked.  As the quote goes "Life is like a piano, what you get out of it depends on how you play it."

Walked over to the new 31 apartment complex and it looks like they have rented 3 apartments.  Also looked in the old lumber yard building and they have it very attractively furnished as a Church.

Yes, the Pontiac started right off for me.  One of my bike friends wrote me that their bike mileage in 1989 was twice what their car mileage for 1989 was.  Spring is around the corner for the garden catalogs AND information on the summer bike rides is here.

The E. Penns are coming home - hear they are both poorly.

Love, Dad
