Happy Birthday!

a beautiful card, 

with a touching personal reflection on 

greeting card etiquette: 

"Hi, Little Sis,

They tell me you are

 having a birthday, 

you know I have never had to look 

out for anything like this, 

for 

when my Sweet heart 

was here 

she'd take care

 of everything.

But I hope you have a nice birthday. 

I am sorry I haven't been over to see Art,

but last Sat & Sunday I worked all day,

and then I took down with the flue, 

but hope to be seeing you soon. 

Love to you both from,

Brother Joe"

a Valentine for You, love Marie

A Valentine for You

Received your thank you letter

 and glad you liked the blouse,

I thought you could wear it 

with slacks out in the yard,

 hope it was the right size.

Dad has been feeling much better 

the last week or so,

 maybe the nice weather helps a little. 

 It has been beautiful hasn't it, 

I'll bet you have been working

 a lot in the yard lately. 

 Newt and I spent

 Sunday at the ocean beaches, 

dug clams, and took pictures.

Tell Art hello,  and 

we will be seeing you one of these days.

Love, Marie
