really hit it there. Last Sun. on the way
home from church, we were discussing
a mantilla that sat in front of us, a
black one. I was telling Jim how I'd
wanted one for years, & I've decided that a
white one would be best. So, you see, my
reaction was not quite as you described
it. I will really get a lot of use & enjoyment
out of it. Pooh is enjoying her
slingshot right now. She won't be able to
wear the medal for quite some time. She
chews on everything, & finds gold
particularly attractive.

Tues.
Pooh's birthday was well marked. We
dressed her up in the white dress with
the blue smocking that you sent. We
fixed her a cake, a pink cupcake with
one candle. She threw the cupcake
away & tried to eat the candle, but
we got some pictures, of her with the
cake & on the new trike. She sends many
thanks for the red monkey with the
nonremovable eye-balls. We call him
George. That face kind of grows on you.
