Another pictureless postcard\u2014essentially an index card, but preprinted by the US Postal Service with 13\u00a2 postage.<\/p>\r\n

George and Helen\u2019s address is written on the card in what I think is Helen\u2019s handwriting; I wonder if she gave us some pre-addressed postcards to encourage us to write to them more often.<\/p>\r\n

Dear Grandma & Grandpa,<\/p>\r\n

Our return trip went fine. Once again, thank-you very<\/u> much for putting us up\/putting up with us for those few days. Thank you, also, for the Christmas presents. I\u2019m not sure what I\u2019ll do with the clock, yet, but I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll find a good use.<\/p>\r\n

Love, Joaquin, Peter, and Jed<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

Peter\u2019s and my names were added in our respective handwritings; I guess we decided it was easier to co-sign Jay\u2019s note than to write our own. :)<\/p>\r\n
