Dear Gwen and family,
Erika was supposed to have taken these
shells back to Utah with her for Amanda and Zac, but after taking them to the
airport, I found the shells still in her room.
Amanda and Erika called me, and I told Amanda that I would mail them to
her house so that they would be there when she returned from California. (Amanda didn't end up going to California) You said she so much enjoyed the shell
magnets that I gave to you, that I figured I would send some for the kids with
Erika. We really had a good time when
Erika and Tami were here. I'm sure Erika
has told you all about it by now, so I won't bore you with the details
again. But just to say, we had an
enjoyable and tiring time, trying to get everything that normally would take 3
weeks to see---into 9 days. We hated to
see them go, but they were anxious to get back to their little friends (boys),
as they call them. We haven't been doing
much since Erika and Tami left, but catching up on some well needed sleep. The weather here is warn and humid right now,
but with so much going on right now, I haven't been able to get out in our pool
lately. The last time I got in it was
when Erika was here. Have you heard from
your folks? Erika received a letter from
them on the day that she returned to Utah, saying they arrived there okay, and
had found a nice apartment. How are they
going to like living in an apartment, after living in a house for so many
years? The apartment they got sounds
really nice, and your mom sounds excited about the experience. I know Grandpa and Grandma Tonks sure do miss
them. Well, how does it feel to be back
living in the old homestead? Quite a
difference to clean from your other house, and the yard--- I wouldn't want to be in your shoes. I know you can handle
it though. Who is taking care of the
kids now that your mom isn't? Erika gave
me your mom's address, so I'll get a letter off to them. Well, take care and give the kids a big hug
and kiss for me. Are you missing Amanda
yet? I'm sure you have heard from them
by now. How did Amanda like her first
airplane ride? (Amanda didn't go to California because of her chickenpox) Write if you get a
chance, and I'll try to return a letter sooner than I have in the
past. Love Dawna and Fred

Dear Gwen, Roger, Amanda,
Zac znc Mark, It seemed good to talk
to you this morning. Hope Zac doesn't
get too sick with the chickenpox.
Enclosed is some money $200.00 for Mark's motorcycle repair. Dad said he could pay it back when he gets
out here, but maybe he'll need it now before he earns that much at the service
station. Dad also said to go ahead an
pay for the repair of the shower out of the money at the Morgan Bank. Sorry you are having trouble with it. Gwen, here is the material that I need for
Roger's coat. All they have out here is
cotton and very light weight polyester.
I got this at the Fabric Shop on 36th and Harrison (upstairs) I will need another piece this size for the
other wrist, also a piece 4 x 24, for the neck. If you can't get the same color, you will need
to get enough for the neck and 2 wrists.
Good luck and thanks. I don't
know how much it will cost, but here is a little extra for mail, etc. Sure wish you all could have been with us at
Disneyland. Mark if you get a chance you
might want to get your hair cut in Morgan before you come out. The prices here are terrible. Here are some hugs and kisses for Amanda and
ZAc XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX Take care. Love
Mom and all
P.S. Next time you write,
send Tonya the addresses for Byron Skeeter Chadwick and Leslie Cardon (Her dad
is Paul) Thanks
