Dear Family,
Hi There!! Seems like I haven't written for awhile -- not really sure where to start. But believe you me -- I have been busy!!
Tomorrow starts our third week of Bible School. I've got to admit -- I'm glad we only have it on Mondays, Tuesdays & Wednesdays. Tomorrow I've got the lesson -- um -- it should be interesting!! I'm using the 'story' of Zacchaeus and then changing it quite a bit so that these kids might be able to relate it to themselves.
OH! It's 1:00 A.M. -- so it is just barely the 19th. I'm already (!) getting sleepy so I might not get much written tonight.
Boy! This last week has really been warm!! I've been swimming twice. But I sure want to buy me a pair of gym shoes -- the beach is so rocky!!
Thursday we are planning a hike & combination swim for the kids here. That should be fun. We are only (!) going to walk about a mile & a half -- one-way -- so it won't be much of a hike.
Hi -- it is now Monday morning and Bible School will be starting in about 15 minutes.
Today is going to be another hot day -- which I'm thankful for. After Bible School we are going to wash our clothes. We are so lucky to be able to have a washer for the summer. Patsy's washer is one of those wringer type. This way you feel like you have a bigger part in doing the wash. And believe me -- you do!!
When I went to the doctor Friday she (woman doctor!) told me that I should start using insect repellent on one arm and see what happens. So far nothing has happened -- and hopefully nothing will.
I don't have to go back to the doctor anymore -- which I'm also glad about because going into Merritt usually creates quite a big ordeal.
After my doctors appointment Dixie & I went to Schullus where we were invited to a birthday party.
We originally planned to have the ground-hog Friday before we left for Merritt. But we took so long in 'preparing' the thing that it didn't get in the oven soon enough.
Ground-hog tastes an awful lot like pork -- very greasy!!! I think (!) it has a sharper taste than pork.
We saved the grease so we've even been having potatoes & ground-hog gravy. Real luxury living, huh?
It's now Monday night -- hope I get a chance to mail this tomorrow -- I hate to write letters and then have them sit around!!
Mary Virginia -- I do hope you write Maria a letter. At least a note -- OK? I know she would sure appreciate it -- has asked me at least ten times if I have heard from you.
Tonight we sat down & planned our menus for the rest of the summer -- oh -- what a job!! But then we did not want to run out --
Had a busy day today as usual. Baby-sat for a two year old girl for about 2½ hours. Got the wash done, then after that mopped the kitchen floor. I always mop after I wash -- know why? Cause I 'spill' so much water in running those clothes through the rollers.
Mom -- I was wondering about my washing my sleeping bag. It is sorta getting that run-down dirty feeling. But then since it will be my bed for another month I don't want it to fall apart. What do you think if I would wash it?
I got a long & nice letter from Betty Waite about 3 days ago. Still haven't answered it. I bet some people must really think I'm failing in my correspondence! But then -- get this -- I've already used 100 stamps since I've been here!! I'm a real boost to the Canadian Postage sales!!
Well, it is getting late -- and I want to get two more letters done tonight so I better close.
I hope you all are fine. Always glad to hear from you. Hello to Grandma -- Wish I had more time to write -- so much to say -- Well -- I'll be seeing you all in about a month!!
Um -- got to go!
P.S. Please tell Mrs. Penn hello & also everyone else.
I just checked in the envelope & found the Bible School lesson instead of this letter -- found letter in Bible!!! Gee --
