Dear all. We spent this Sat PM out here and I sure wish you could all see this place. Elizabeth is figuring on Cleo + Julie for Christmas, she has her tree already picked out across the street. ha ha. We got here Friday at 3:30. Had a nice trip + enjoyed every minute of it. It rained a lot here + stormed last night. Be sure + write even if about nothing else but the weather (like Betty) Have you seen Lloyd Nothing you say except sickness or death will make me come sooner than I intend to. ha Hope you are all OK. Write air mail Mom
Naomi Vetter says
Hummm. I wonder if “Betty” is my friend Betty Englebrecht Schulte. I can’t think who else it might be. I don’t know what the weather reference is about…
Jane says
Was that the year Lloyd took care of the farm while they were gone?
Cleo says
Thank you Anna for sending this penny post card to the Sommerer web site for us to see. I don’t remember this card. I wonder how much the postage was on a penny post card in 1960. Isn’t it nice to hear how much they enjoyed this trip. I remember worrying about Lloyd but I don’t remember going out there to help him. Lloyd tell us about when you was home alone on the farm and what shenanigan you pulled. Was Lloyd still in school?
