Dear Betsy,
I still don't have your correct address so I hope you get this by my sending it to Kirstie. So how are you? I hope well. Today is Church day and we are going. I have been up since 2 AM. Earl was reading with me and got a headache so he is sound asleep. It is now 5 AM and I just made some delicious muffins. I can't decide whether to gain 5# or not. I am about right now, I think. The big wedding is less than 2 weeks away. Everyone is getting excited. I started e eating a bowl of shredded wheat for breakfast. Earl has Bacon, eggs, and muffin. I made him a yellow cake yesterday which is very good. About the wedding, Kathy gave me an awful shade of pink dress and she is short so it comes up my shins. So yesterday we went to Lancaster and got me a black and dark blue print. We had to go to SEARS to get Earl a claw hammer. So Earl suggested we go to dress department and see if they had anything fancier. Well, we found a shiny material in royal blue. It is so pretty. Cost $50. Then we had to take the other dress back to Penney's and they refunded me $63. I have white shoes to wear with it and a white purse. Earl has a blue suit or a tan one. I don't know which one he is wearing. The wedding takes place in Circleville Baptist Church. The reception is in a lodge by us. It should be nice. She is marrying into the family that built our house. They are all nice people.
Earl and I are going to the dentist this week on Friday. My teeth really need some care. Ear'ls former company pays for most of it. Then as soon as the papers are due and back to us, we can both get our eyes examined and get new glasses for only $10. You can't beat those benefits.
Yesterday, my order from the Temple magazine came. I really like it. Betsy, could you get 3 sets of garments for me in the blend. The tops are size 34 and I don't know the bottom without taking this one off. My hips are 36-38. Let me know the money and I will send it to you right away. Get them in the blend please. I would greatly appreciate it so very much. I am so happy for you. I am ashamed of myself. I let my standards slip and my smoking is terrible. Earl doesn't says anything about my wearing garments. He thinks they keep me warm. He is so good to me. I love him so very much. We do everything together which is really nice.
Earl's son has been bringing loads of pine wood over for us to burn their winter. He is the father of the bride and his wife is making him get ride of all his wood. Earl and I think it is terrible. Kathy has to have things her way or else. She means very well but she has hurt her husband. I am getting my hair thinned, cut short and set at J.C. Penneys on the 16th. I may get a light perm to give it body. Kathy and the 2 girls are getting theirs done there also.
I am reading a book called "RN to BSN" which prepares you to take a test to get your BSN degree. It is difficult and deep but I am determined to do it. I am doing labor, delivery, newborn baby, etc. Then in the AJN Magazine there is an article on shock and hemorrhage which I can read and take a test and get 2 contact hours for continuing education if I pass it. It looks interesting. Last one I did was on Burns and I got them all right. I got a certificate. There is no way I can work. I would dearly love to work as an RN. Today my feet are swollen. They haven't been loke that for ages. Earl takes me to church every week and says nothing. At least he goes with me and maybe someday he will want the missionaries. Please get the garments for me and mail them to me. I'll send you the money when ever you want it so let me know. I need three pair.
Well, I am out of news and this letter is full of mistakes. Please forgive as I type fast. I hope you are happy and well. We pray for you every night. How is your love life? Are you still dating Rob? If yes, is there any chance of marriage? I am working on my temple recommend. It shouldn't be long now. I love to come and see you again. We had such a good time last fall with you and Kirstie. Then I could go to the Washington Temple with you. That would be wonderful. I guess I dream too much. Grandma and Grandpa send their love. They will be here in 2 weeks. Take care of yourself, honey. Remember I love you dearly and miss you.
All our love,
Mom and Earl
