Dear Zelda:
We hope you will have a nice birthday. We wish you were here, we would have a cake and some ice cream. We hope you will have some without us anyway.
Are you still having sunshine?
We have a variety of weather. Some spring, some fall, some winter. However, today has been quite nice, the sun was shining this morning, and it clouded up some this afternoon.
Cheryl Ann was out most all morning; she rode her horse this morning, helping Dad move some sock. She thinks Windyday will grow to be a nice horse. She says maybe it is a good thing he isn't trained, she can train him to suit herself.
I spose you are wondering what the deal is with the typewriter. We are trying out a new Olympia. It has a 13" carriage. It works quite well with genealogy sheets. I fold the left side under an inch. I have been saying all the time I wanted a 25" carriage; But Dad says these machines are well built, and they only come in this wide a width And they didn't have a Remington in. So we are trying this one out. The man will be out one day next week.
Barry went to play practice tonite.
He will probably try to get someone else to bring Cheryl Ann home, so he and Judy can go to the show.
Good morning! How are you this morning!
We are all fine. Dad was sleepy last nite so we went to bed. He has had a hard time to sleep the last week. I think he has been going to bed to early at least the last two nites it has been later and he has slept better.
Barry brought Cheryl Ann home. Then he had to take Judy home, and it always takes so long to say goodnite to her. So this morning he didn't want to get up and Dad wanted him out a bit early, to help move some cattle that got out of where they are sposed to be. But he is eating breakfast now.
I can make more mistakes than anyone. Don't count them. And I sound like a woodpecker.
I see Cheryl Ann made some in her letter to.
Dad started a letter yesterday then someone used it for scratch paper, but I'll cut that off and send it. He may try it again.
Oh, I forgot, Susann came out with Cheryl Ann last nite. I think she must be going to stay until Sunday, judging from the clothes she had over her arm and I had so many things for Cheryl Ann to do. Now the stove drawers will have to wait another week. And I have a heaping basket of ironing to do. And I must go to school at three this afternoon.
And go with Dad for a load of hay this morning.
I have had a sad time with the song for the convention. Dilworths were called to Idaho or Utah because of the death of Mary's brother. So I didn't even have the book to write a part in for Faye. And I had such a time trying to get Don on the phone even; but finally got him yesterday. But he won't be able to play for them as he has to go to Hamilton that day. So, guess I'll ask Valiera to play. It is going to take a number from the Ward. Helen, Faye, Sisn Neilson, and Baliera; and two of them have classes in Sunday School And I'll have to have someone give the lesson in my class to. Then all of them are sposed to come down in the afternoon.
How do I settle on or I should say, how I peck away.
I'd better go and see why it is taking Barry so long to get going. He doesn't seem to think he should do anything extra.
We do hope you have a nice birthday!
Dad says you can buy some dress shoes.
Did you get some "work" shoes?
A box will follow with a few little things in it.
Our love The Family
Oh yes, Mr. Coooper is going to be the new Superintendent in Ronan. he was one of my old teachers. The Blue Knights got second place in teh talent show in Charlo, playing "Talk of the Town."
Bob Schleip was elected president of the Volunteer Fire Department.
Cecile Coulter Arends has a baby boy.
Dr. H.K. Newburn will take over the duties of President of Montana State University.
Seems like there was something else I had in mind to tell you but I have forgotten what it was.
Dear Zelda:
I am glad you enjoyed your visit with mom, and we sure hoped she would get he mumps, but I guess she had the luck. Don't miss her too much. How is all your pets and yourself?
The cats are all doing all rights. And jigger was lost when mom wasnt around. i traded Penny for a horse named Windy day he is a sorrow but is not as pretty as Penny. It is an Arabian horse and is a lot smaller than Penny, and hasnt had a bridle or a saddle on.
I rode Penny but she is hard to catch.
Today I am out of school because it is Parent Teachers Conference.
Dad is visiting with the P.C.A. right now.
Tonight I am going to a skating party with the school class.
I hope you don;t get mixed up reading this, because it is very mixed up, and there is a lot of mistakes in it.
This is a very beautiful day but it is muddy because it rained a partly snowed yesterday.
I rode Windyday today;do you know who I mean?
I drove the tractor today for daddy who was unloading some hay too the calves in the bullpen.
I had to do th e dishes because she did the morning dishes and mom had a headache. Barry came home and caught his horse as usual. We are doing spring plowing and Barry does the milking. Sometime I feed the calves. I guess Barry is going to play practice so he is going to go to the show if he can get me a ride home.
Your little Sister Cheryl Ann
