Tuesday
Dear Mom and Dad,
We returned at 4PM from Pana. The kids had a ball there. Betty and Glen came up Monday as he had business in Decatur. The boys really enjoyed the apple trees, cornfields etc. Jim fixed a few of his Mom’s appliances. Aunt Rose went back on Monday.
We came home to find your most interesting letter about your trip through the Spanish Mountains. Sure am anxious to get together with you and hear all the details. Also had a letter from Don.
The trip to Gary was a great success – we stopped by Mary Colasin’s this evening to drop off some eggs. She was hoarse and said she never laughed so hard in her life. Then we went to Tala’s to see our piano and drop off some eggs. She said she had the best time ever. Clo was in form – dressed like a farmer – Neva laughed all the way. Lola Patona, Esther, Honey and Angeles were the whole show. And except for Teresa P who was a pain everyone really enjoyed the trip. Sophie also went and Anita met her in Chicago. The people at Gary really entertained them and the bus driver said “If you ladies go next year, will you ask for me?”
Tala got her beaded bag and she really liked it. The time is flying by so fast and we still have so much we want to do.
Your stay in Asturias should go very nicely. I think there is more room for you and I’m sure Pacita will let you both go off on your own. Be sure to greet all the family for us and Herminia of course.
Right now we are watching the Tonight Show – so I will wait until tomorrow to finish this after I call Tiá Lola.
Wed, August 17
I called Tiá Lola and she is feeling very good. She may come to Mildred’s next Sunday if she continues the same. I talked to Mary Diaz today and she says Jesus Glenna is sick in the hospital and that Luisa is doing o.k. I talked to Margaret Diaz and she said the gang really missed Dora and Amelia on the trip.
Katie Sabadell said Corona is having a nice time and the family in Spain was very good to her. I also talked to Mercedes “la de justa” so you see I spent most of the day on the phone.
Jim went with Tala to the bank today but no sign of the charge plates.
Tala and Bob will leave for their vacation on August 28th.
I must drop a line to Don and Jim’s mother.
Love,
Dina
