Dear Betsy,
I want to thank you so much for the beautiful Easter Card. I really enjoy it and your thoughtfulness. Sandy went to church and I had to stay home. It got cold here and rained on and off all day. Lately, I sleep late and stay up late. Sandy slept all day yesterday for a total of 14 hours. I read Chesapeake and we are watching "The Ten Commandments" now. Sandy is off school this week. She helped serve a breakfast for church today. Grandma and Grandpa called from Dallas tonight. Grandpa is wheezing. Aunt Ida has Mimi and she is getting old. She wets all the time and can't here. Poor thing. She is 13 years old, I think. Aunt Ida went to church with Charlotte and Lori and all the family. Then they went out to eat and to the cemetery and then over to our cousin Tom's home who has a wife and two children. Carol and Gary are my cousins also (Charlotte's sons) and I used to babysit for Carol when she was very little. I was disappointed that she didn't come to see me. Lori will be married on June 12th. She is having a big wedding and lots of showers. I can't go but wish I could. She is your 3rd cousin and Aunt Ida's great great niece like you are to, her. She turned Catholic. I hope that you are well and doing all right. I want you to know that you can come here anytime you want to visit or live. I love you dearly and am so sorry that this mess has to happen in our lives. I wrote Kirstie last night. Sandy babysat for 4 hours. My parents got me a pretty pink printed robe for Easter. They gave me the package before they left and said not to open it before Easter. She said she was sorry she forgot to send you both cards but forgot being in Dallas. They will come back by way of the Smokey Mountains. It should be pretty there for them now. I miss California and my friends. I think the drier climate was better. I have to stay here no though. I wish we could see each other. We really are close in distance. I sure miss you. Where do you go to church? Did Kirstie get balloted on yet for Rainbows? I really appreciate all your letters. They mean so much. I look forward to the mail each day. I miss not drinking my coffee. I may be able to drink some soon. It makes me get red and hurt easily. Well, I guess that I will close for now. Take care of yourself and write me really soon. I hope you have a nice vacation. Remember that I love you very much and miss you. Sandy and I play lots of Canasta. I love you with all my heart.
Love from your mom,
Mom
