1990 Family Letter -May 25

Friday --

May 25, 1990

Dearest Family --

This is just a note with our addresses for the next few weeks to let you know where we might be reached by mail (or phone) in case you wish to get some word to us.  You know that we are always most happy to hear from you.

Al is quiet here in New Vienna with more rain today -- farmers are having a long wait again for dry weather to plant their crops.

Tomorrow is a busy day -- we have promised Orville and Jo Harner to help them with their program for the Senior Citizen's program after the monthly pot-luck.  We don't usually go but if the weather is good plan to take G'ma.  Tomorrow evening is the annual Alumni Dinner Dance of the New Vienna school. 

John called and plans to be down Sunday and will take us to the airport Monday -- guess we'll probably go to the parade in New Vienna (scheduled for 9:30 or 10:00 AM.

We are staying with G'ma tonight and tomorrow night and hope that we have enough people line up while we are gone to look after her.  One is on a substitute basis -- Virginia Perkins -- Shirley's mother -- Mr. Perkins died a few months ago -- she works at the shop but said she'd be willing to help.  Cathi McIntosh is real good and so conscientious.  [This may be the Cathi that is the current mayor of New Vienna?]  Elaine has been filling in for some that have had problems of getting there because of their own health or their family's.

[Love, etc.]
