Dearest folks:-

Beautiful day and Everett is spreading dirt and putting the garage in order. This morning we went to the bank and then to Dorothy's. From there we drove to the old neighborhood. I went to Neely's but only he was home. She may have to teach all winter for the regular teacher is very sick and may never be able to teach again.

We came to Bobbie's but no one home. We thought they might have come down here but did not. It rained on us after Capistrano and all most all the way with a lull at Oceanside.

Dorothy came over Monday night. Tuesday morning Everett made an appointment with a chiropractor so Ruth and I went down town with him. We were to meet him at 6th & E at 3 o'clock. Had fifteen minutes to wait so went to the hotel to look around. There is a gate at the entrace which is locked at night. We went up to old rooms. Everything out of all rooms.

We came home by Ann's but she was not at home. Went back last evening after visiting Paul in hospital, and saw Ann and Lynn. Ann had been at employment office at Consolidated and stood in line for three hours only to learn they were not taking inexperienced workers. The place they are living is not too bad. Paul is looking pretty good. Ruth says much better than he did. They have not finished examinations. Lungs very much congested. Visiting hours 1 to 4 P.M. Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.

I went to chapter meeting Wednesday. Mrs. Fiedler arranged for a new member, living near El Cajon to call for me. Everyone was glad to see me. We had a nice meeting. It seemed strange not to see Mrs. Kemper.

Mr. & Mrs. Grimes, we lived next door on Van Dyke, have their place for sale. They want a newer, more modern house. Their daughter and two children have been living with them while the son-in-law, Lt. Sprague, ws in Japan and Korea. He is a thome and has been assigned to El Torro. He has rented a house in Orange acorss the street from a grade school. Mrs. Grimes could not remember name of street. Lt. Sprague is a marine.

Norma and Allen were here this afternoon for an hour. She had letter from Cetia not long ago. Her father had driven off in a blizzard. Some day he will do that and not come back.

Dorothy and Al were here last night for a couple of hours. Dorothy brought letter from Sharon and some new pictures. The baby is walking.

I got my new dress out to wear to the chapter and did not have the belt. Must have left in on hanger in closet. The girls at chapter, all liked my coat. I must have left the pi__ from my coat on the dresser for a cannot find it.

Am enclosing Helen's which Ruth put in her purse, by mistake. All send love to all of you.

Mama
