An update from Helen on how Jed and Jay’s visit is going. “Do hope you've caught up with jobs that needed doing, gotten some extra rest, and perhaps saved a bit more money than usual these six weeks. An opportunity that may never happen again?”
Marcy wonders how to get Jed and Jay home from the trip to see George and Helen. “The 15000 for the plane flight up there just about did us under - now we are back up to zero but not sure what to do.”
A brief update from Marcy. “hoping you’re all survived from your multitudinous surgeries, Grandpa, and thoroughly enjoying your leisure.”
A postcard from Peter, wishing George and Helen a happy anniversary.
A note from Marcy on the occasion of George and Helen preparing to head off on a trip to Hawaiʻi. “Peter was overjoyed to get his maroon pants back, and wore them for four days running. No, the days were running, he was mostly driving.”
