Hi Hon,
What is the matter that we haven't heard form you going on 3 weeks? I am beginning o worry you said when you called home that you were going to write oftener. How are things going overe there pretty rough so you don't have time to write.
Sharon took her driver's test Tuesday. She said she didn't think she had passed. I had the kids a while she went up they were just as good as gold. We picked them up at home and we stopped at Snug Harbor and they had a coke and they didn't even make a mess. They have got a goat there and were the kids excited. Lori called it a doggy. She is a cute little tyke.
We went to Watertown yesterday to get points and cables for the car. We got a spray gun to wash the car and we washed it last nite. Dad took it up to Camp today and going to wash the truck today.
The fire siren just blew but I didn't go down to find out what it was. I don't feel so good today too much booze yesterday.
The ducks are beautiful now. We were down on the shore last nite and Dad would holler to them and they would quack right back to him. They are little leary of Dad but Jake can walk right up to them but he gets to feed them all the time.
I just called Sharon and she said she hasn't heard from her drivers test yet. Henry's pup was just over here so I hollered to him to call him--- if he get up on the main street he'll get killed. Traffic is terrible this week. We'll probably be busier than hell tonight up at Lees. We were buy last Tuesday nite.
Well hon I can't think of anything more to write about. I've got to get down and get this letter in the mail and I hope there is a letter from you.
We Hon take care of my boy and WRITE SOON. Even if it is only a paragraph so at least we hear from you.
Love
