Dear Mother, Dad and Mary,
Hi! It was nice talking to you all yesterday. Roberta and Grandma seem to be doing fine. Wendy has been pestering Grandma ever since they got here. Her favorite thing seems to be dancing with Grandma by holding her hand and twirling around etc.
Roberta and I went to the store and bought some things to eat for the next couple nights. We bought fish for one night and rabbit for the other. Care to join us Mother for the rabbit? We had thought we might go out to dinner at Wong's with them but it turns out they are closed for a week's vacation until Thursday and there is no place else decent to eat except by driving a long ways. Perhaps we will go out for lunch.
I don't have anything going on this week until Wednesday night which works out well. Gerry has a meeting tomorrow night -- a planning meeting for the 25th Anniversary. I have Bunco on Wednesday. I worked all day Saturday on the Bookkeeping and got the profit and loss statement for August done for the Club. The Lodge I only have to do a statement every three months so I will have that to work on next month. This is the week that we turn the bulletin in to the printers so we will have that to work on probably the first of next week getting them all addressed etc. We did get a new ribbon for the addressograph machine since last month and does that ever make a difference.
We did get your last letter on Friday as well as the two letters for Grandma. However, the reference to the pictures was puzzling since you did not enclose any pictures. Did you send them to someone else? We bought some more film so hope to get some pictures while Roberta and Grandma are here. I meant to mention to you about the lack of pictures when I talked to you but forgot.
Time to go . . . .
Love, Catherine, Gerry & Wendy

Dear Folks -- Mon.-morning
The day is on the way. C. is on her way to work -- Gerry has left. Roberta is doing laundry & Wendy is watching TV. She didn't go to school [day care] to-day. Roberta & W. plan to walk down town after while. It is a beautiful day. Roberta & I had a nice trip so far. She says her head is still going a-round. You will find enclosed the letter from Joe and a picture.
Roberta wonders if Wendy ever stops talking but to me she is normal -- just thinking out loud & entertaining herself. She has a row of cute freckles across her face & nose. Sorry our cards did not arrive so you may get several at once. Our plans are to leave here Wed. morning early. So will not go into telling about our trip as it would take a lot of writing.
Rec. a receipt for Refrigerator from Sr. Citz. Sec'y so wondered if it was placed ready for use. Sorry to hear that Serena is having knee trouble. Could it be her feet (arch) causing the pain?
Love to all --Mother
[note from Roberta] Wendy still hasn't quit talking.
