Dear Betsy,
I have sent three letters to you at Kirstie's. Have you received them? I surely hope so. Today Grandma and Grandpa had us meet them at Bob Evans in Circleville. We had a lovely meal. Earl and I had the catfish dinner. Then they followed us to our house and started unloading their truck. We got a 12 pack of Coke and 4 bottles of other pop. Then we got bananas and a big canister of fresh blueberries. Grandma brought me typing supplies and correction stuff. They bought Earl a knit blue shirt and me a khaki pair of darling shorts and got a size twelve and I need a size 14. So they took it back with them and exchange it. Your mom is gaining weight. They all thing I look good at 135#. Then last week I got my long thick busy hair cut really short and it is darling. I go back to the hair dresser this coming Saturday to get my hair done for the wedding. Melissa (Earl's grand daughter) is getting married at 1 PM. We bought me a beautiful royal blue wedding dress with a shiny sash to it. Grandma says it is really lovely. We are all excited about the wedding. The reception is over by us and not air-conditioned so I don't think I can go. Earl will go and I feel really bad. Grandma and Grandpa also brought toilet paper and paper towels and six bars of soap and four sets of wash cloths and had towels. It was really nice of them and we sure can use everything they brought. I am anemic and have to take potent iron medicine. It is hard on the bowels. I have enough trouble that way anyhow. All my medicine is constipating. We spent lots of money on laxatives. If you know of something good that helps please let me know. What do you think about all the trouble in Iraq? I read my scriptures every day and Earl and pray together several times a day. It is wonderful. He is good to me, Betsy and I love him dearly. We are watching a video now and it is called "The Morning After". It is really good. We have watched 298 videos from the library so far. I am going to sew two dresses for the girls. Plus I bought 2 patterns for clothes for me. There are dresses, skirts, blouses, slacks, and peddle pushers. They should make up cute and are size 14. Earl will help me sew them which I will need as I haven't sewn in such a long time. The last thing I made was a dress for little Markel. So how are you doing? Please write or call me. I love to hear from you. Have you been back to the temple? Have you looked into the garments for me? I need size 34 in tops and size 30 or 31 in bottoms. I would like three of each and I will pay you as soon as you tell me what they cost. Oh, I want them in the blend material. I have cotton ones now and they are fine for winter but hot in the summer. If you can't get them and I'll call Salt Lake Distribution Center and order them. The sooner the better I get them. I got the magazine on "Temples" that I ordered by mail. I want to get my Temple Recommend soon. Maybe Earl will bring me to Washington, DC Temple. I'd love to see you and Kirstie again. We just need the money. I wish I could work and bring in a pay check. My stomach bothers me a lot on this iron pill. I watch what I eat and try to be careful. I ate a banana after Grandma and Grandpa left and my tummy is all upset. I don't understand why I can't eat a banana. They are so good. Tomorrow morning I will put lots of blueberries on my cereal. I love them so much. I eat cereal, juices, and a whole grain muffin for breakfast. Now, Earl eats bacon and eggs, or sausage and eggs with muffin. He can't drink juice except grape. I like orange juice and grapefruit juice and I have to eat prunes or prune juice. Hate them. I got a nice letter from Bob's Aunt in Nebraska and she is in her 80s. She finally has left their big farm and moved to the city. They miss the farm life. She has always been good about writing. Bob thought a lot of her. His mom was her sister.
It is 3 AM now and I am wide awake so I hope to finish this letter so when we go to church today I can mail it. How are you doing? I know that you must be quite busy. I miss not hearing from you. Please let me hear from you. I am playing my tape "Our Heavenly Father's Plan". I got it from the missionaries in Toledo for $1. I really like it and it is especially for those who have been through the Temple. I am so proud of you for having gone through the Temple and getting your endowments.
I could lose 10 pounds and probably look better. I am not heavy. My bones are big and Earl says I look good. Better than ever! I would rather weight 120# but then I am skinny. What do I do? You would like me in short hair. I look a lot younger and that is important. It is also cooler. I love your hair. And how do you keep so thin? I really don't eat that much yet on goes the weight. I think it comes from some medications I take. I have to take them so I guess I live feeling full and stuffed all the time. My cat is up here in the loft with me. She is so sweet and we really love her.
Well, I am out of news and will close now. Hope you are well and stay happy. Let me know what I should do about the garments. If you can't get them, I'll call Salt Lake Distribution Center and put it on Mastercard. Thank you so much. Remember that your mom loves you and misses you so much.
All our love,
Mom and Earl
