Wish You Were Here - Postcard Number 69 - 1982



Dear E__ + F___:
We are thinking about you - Hope it has rained - we need it much. We are quite busy - but only of the pleasure. I had to drop a capped tooth so have to sit in the Dentist chair and relax!! Sunday we went to Thullers Chrystal Cathedral and Wayfarers Chapel (an all glass church) there was a wedding when we got there - and another waiting to get in - Went to Forrest Lawn Cemetary - Universal Studios - and on my birthday they took me to Lawrence Welk's 1000 acre vacation + Retirement Ranch Huntington Gardens + Museum - + Little Tokyo, China Town + Old Spanish Town, Spruce Goose + Queen Mary and we are still going except when I am at the dentist. Will see you after June 4.

Dear L___,
We're having a great time. Monday we went on a 2 hr horseback ride and yesterday we rode the train. As you know, we have seen some beautiful country. We'll see a melodrama in the old Staten Hotel tonight + go river rafting Friday. The kids love the Alpine slide + go down a couple of times a day. See you Sunday!

Dear L___,
We're having a great time A___ is doing better, but she was really sick when we left Rescue. We spent 3 days at CES - learned a lot + walked a lot. We made lots of business contacts. We're going to see Cats at the Schubert theatre downtown. We've rented a car + have driven everywhere. The traffic is wild. David has become a real city driver. Sight seeing will fill our next 3 days.

Dear Mama,
This is Tuesday. It is very beautiful here. Our condo is off to the left of the picture about a block.

We have gone to the beach and shopped around while the guys play golf. They've played 91 holes after today. They love it. We all have dinner together.

It's very hot & humid during the day but I'm enjoying being here.

Love you

This finds me in Israel and thus far has been a super trip. I'll be reading for ages to review all the many things I have seen.

Please in some of your planning, try to schedule a trip over here. You will never forget it.

Dear Mom and Dad,
We arrived Sat about 10:30. We drove straight through. The weather has been great. The snow is very nice at the top of the Mt. but toward the bottom it is slushy. Well I'm sore but having a good time. I hope you both are relaxing and having a good time. See you later.

Dear Auntie and Uncle E___,
Got here all safe and sound. This city is quite lonely and this hotel seems to be in the middle of everything. It's also not terribly hot here - 92 degrees when I arrived and I'm enjoying that a lot. There are flowers everywhere.

Dear Aunt J__,
We're on our way back from spending several days with friends in Huntsville, Alabama. And almost two weeks with my folks in Texas. It was great. We stayed just a block from my folks and saw them + some interesting places in the Rio Grande Valley each day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I came here from Florence just for the day. Wanted to see the countryside but there was a heavy fog which restricted one's view - also there are many tunnels which also restrict the view. Venice looks a lot better in pictures than for real!! Best wishes for a wonderful 1974.

Wish You Were Here - Postcard Number 57 - 1973

Hi,
We actually saw a number of moose that looked just like this. We're heading home now after a glorious vacation. We've spent a number of days camping in the Badlands, Black Hills, Yellowstone and The Tetons. Each seemed more spectacular than the last. Hope to see you when we're in Ohio.

Dear J__:
Just a note to say that I may be coming home around the 15th of February. Have got most everything done around here and it is getting to be monotonous. Am getting ants in my pants. Got a letter from F___ A____ today. She told about S___ getting stuck in the driveway and they went over and helped her out. I wish you were down here now so we could come home together. If plans change will let you know. Will be talking to you.
