Dear Betsy,
Tomorrow Bob and I will have been married one year.  We are at Wendy's now.  We went to the Victoria Station last night for dinner.  We are getting along well now.  I have really been able to cut down on my medicines.  I take more vitamins and eat well.  I have gained wieght.  I walk every day and exercise.  I was walking in the mall on the 18th and I ran into Sandy.  We hugged, etc.  I couldn't believe it.  Her Bishop dropped her off at our apartment for 40 minutes but I was gone.  So she walked to the mall and found me.  We got lemonade and then she bought a white tank top for $5.  I met the Bishop and his family.  That was sure nice of them.  I loved seeing her.  She was surprised also.  She said you were doing good.   She said you were having trouble with your roommates.  She say you only eat 3 candy bars a day and are thing but still pretty.
Our temp was 80 degrees today.  Very breezy.  Bob is going to make bean soup tomorrow.  It's always good.  I love it.
I have Rafeenie perfume and powder.  I love it.  Bob got me some for Mother's day.  It seems like ages since I heard from you.  I wish you would write me.  It seems like ages since I heard from you.  I wish you would write me.  I save all your letters.  I miss you.  When are you coming this summer?
How are all your boy friends?  Sandy said you were playing tennis with a real wealthy man and you'd marry him in a minute.
I have to go to grocery store at Krogers.  I hate that.  I like Churchills but we need a few things.

Well, I will go to church this afternoon at 2:30.  It is already 2:00.  Sandy called collect last night.  She sounds good but busy.  She likes her roommate a lot.  No caffeine anywhere and she is out of money.  She says she has to have a diet coke.  So she goes somewhere to buy one.  I was glad to hear from her.  She is in class already.
Did I tell you I joined a health spa?  (21 Century).  I ride the bike 25 minutes but not much on the treadmill.  I do lots of exercises.  It is hard on my feet.  They swell and get red.  I may quit by doctor's excuse.  It is a lot of money.  I walk in the mall and do lots of exercise here.  I am writing this laying so excus the scribbling.

Later
Church was good.  It was full.  The Bishop spoke and so did his son.  Then I went to the grocery store and came home.  We ate Bob's 3 bean soup.  It was good.  Then I went down to the basement and on the other side is Bob's furniture, etc.  I used his rowing machine.  Then I spotted a stationary bicycle, for 5 minutes I rode it.  I was tired.  I don't know who owns the bike but I think I will use it anyhow.  The mall closed at 6 pm so I couldn't walk around.
Well, I have no more news for now.  Take care of yourself and remember how much I love you.  Write soon.  I miss not hearing from you.

I love you,
Love,
Mom
