Tues. nite.

Dearest family:

Coop about to take Muf. for a run
so will have him drop this in the box. Beautiful day and took
time out from ironing for a sunbath. Muf. lay rite w/me on
the blanket and panted, but sun would do her bugs good too!
Coop arrived home Fri. nite. Most tired and w/ends of cold
picked up Wis. Spent 2 days trying to get out of Minn. on comm.
plane, then 2 days more out of McChord. Traffic is terrific
in summer. Goes back to D.C. about 10 Sept. Rumors are that we will
go to Maxwell AFV., Alabama to school when leave here next Aug.
Anything, but Wash. D.C. Said for 2 weeks temp. during day
never got down below 100, either in D.C. or Wis. Family seems
fine. Says his mother has never looked so well. Ate fresh
tomatoes out of her garden until he ran "red!" Thanks for
cards, etc. Had forgotten my birthday until one of the gal's
brot gave me a birthday cake Sun. a.m., (Marlyin Boline's sis met her).
Coop goes to Pt. Barrow and ptsn no. this week. Maybe, I'll
get caught up on ironing, etc. but ain't working too hard.
Too fat n' lazy! Love to all.
Glad the surprise 51st was a success.
