Dear Jewell: Beep, Beep, Beep, Sputnik is up! Where will it land?
Kathy and I went for a hike over our favorite hill Saturday, clear to the fence, then down to the upper end of the field. We played we were on Daniel Boone’s trail. We saw deer tracks and a bunny ran away from us, and we saw a bunch of quail. If we had taken our gun we might have gotten wild game… Send your skirt length and I will make your red skirt, weather is just right for sewing.
Love you muchly,
Mother
