Dear Marie, et all.
We really hit the jackpot on Christmas when we opened your gifts. The girls blouses are just darling - and fit perfectly. Mark and Jacque love their thing - she is so sure the pearl in the necklace must be a real pearl, she has everyone agreeing with her.
How nice of you to remember Bob and I too. I just love the measuring set. Bob is going to put hooks over the sink to hang them. Thanks so much for everything. You shouldn't have sent us anything at all - I know you've had extra expenses this year.
Sorry to hear that Frank is unable to be with you. We hope and pray for his full recovery - and soon. We had a note form Durands at Christmas too; Frank worries about you being so alone.
We had a nice Christmas even though Betty and her family couldn't come up. We had some foreign students from the college here for dinner. One of the girls was from Hong Kong and had just arrived in town. Ours was the first American food she had tasted. One boy (also Chinese) was a fabulously talented pianist who is training for the concert stage. One boy, from Iraq, was here several times, and we all learned a lot first hand about the political situation in his country. Also, a girl form Poland, was here for a week-end.
Do write, Marie, and a Happy New Year!
L.
