We look happy because we are

March 22 (late 1960s)

Dear Dad

I received today both your letters and the package. Thank you so much for the mustard jar! No, I haven't changed my mind about it - I still love it - even more now! It goes so well with all my dishes and entertaining things! Thanks again!

Both of us are working hard - this week is mid-term exams. All the students come crying to the profs or come to study in the library. And they worry a lot, too.

Enclosed is a picture of us. It was taken at our house - we had friends in for dinner. We look happy because we are. We had just found out about great event and so naturally we were elated. We still are! It has made us so happy! We always were, but even more so, now. Anyway - I hope you like the picture.

The weather here is great. Averages are in the high 70's during the day. Today the wind is blowing. About 25 mph. It doesn't happen very often, though. Usually we have just a little breeze from the south at about 7 mph. We like Tulsa. It's such a pretty, nice, friendly town. We're so glad we moved here!

Please do me a favor. Tell your family to write. Nobody in Tacoma ever writes. We enjoy the letters so much, especially yours! Keep writing! We love you!

I should sign off now. I have many things to do yet this evening. Please write again soon. Better yet - why don't you come visit us? We have lots of room and we'd love to have you down! We'd like to show you our town and what we like best of it, and show you off to our friends. After all, not everyone has such a nice dad! Come on down when you can!

God bless you and everyone! We love you all!

Jill & Tibor
