Thurs. evening [July 1, 1971]
Dear Family --
Another week & perhaps I shall be at home by this time (8:30). Everyone is gone. Bill to Lions meeting -- Mary to choir practice -- Robbie to band practice. I just finished a note to Mrs. Wilson.
We have had 2 or more phone calls from Marianne she has her problems but from now on I think she will be getting along better. At least I feel better after her call last night. For they seemed to have so many things to do last week that I did come to the rescue & packed all of her best china & glass ware. She said not a piece cracked nor broken. But what to do with it?
I made a call at the Mackey home this afternoon. Mary had several errands so she dropped me off. They remarked about my nice Ohio family and Mary V. being a doll in the wedding. They thought Catherine might still be in High School. Thought she looked so young. She & Serena were very attractive girls. Of course John came in for his share of praise as well as the Horton Clan. They use to have a friend who taught at Kal. College.
Cris how are times? Your Sail is still on the boat as your Dad says he has to have a combination to get something open I guess you know what.
If the garden was wet when you arrived home, I take it for granted that the yard needed mowing. So John keep your account dated. Then there is a paper bill due this week or next. Never a let up, is there in bills?
I am still keeping the 8th in mind for checking out & arriving next Thurs. in Cin. at 5:30 unless I hear differently & then I will change my date to suit your plans.
I tried to go without hose but I soon found out that the air conditioning put too much cool air on my knees. Oh but it is hot out doors during the day. I can just see my beautiful sugar trees at home in my mind. I notice by the paper it is rather warm at home.
I think Mary is getting cold feet about going to Africa, but yet she wants to see Joe so badly & Bill is just -- shall I say blank? I wish we could drop in to see Joe & Marianne.
Love,
Mother
