Had a nice long letter from your Mother which I enjoyed as much - She writes such interesting letters!
Have a Merry Xmas -
Ralph, Alice, & Helen
We hope you have a wonderful Christmas. We'll see you before New Years. Looking forward to being home. I guess we'll have a quiet Christmas here & see Sam & Jessie & neighbors. We'll ski this weekend.
Love, John & Linda
Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year
Love, Axel, Shelly, Charli, Rafa, and Aubrey Rose
Card from Mary Bailey Adair to Alice Johnson family in Milwaukee, 1974
This is from an original by Lloyd Saville daughter Ann Dimit and Bernice's sent me some any of family can share with me.
How I did enjoy the evening with John! And I don't have to worry about the car - he will take over and has a deal on that I'll tell you about later. Priced it at $900 to a friend in Omaha so if I do need it this summer I can borrow it! I'm not sure about Dot & Walt's plans yet.
I have some lovely cards and letters for the family to read. John read a few but more came today! If I could jump far and fast enough, I'd see you all right now.
What are your plans? We are thinking of coming up there Xmas Day - then Linda and John go to Saunemin that day so you folks come down Sat. or Sun. How about it? Marge said she told you we would come up for a big kettle of soup!
Card from Laveta today - they got the meat package on Monday - I'll save her letter for you. This clipping from Record News must be Buelah's daughter? He remarried but children are younger than this one.
Also good letter from Edna (Ginny's mother).
Snowing fast right now - Marge won't be home to lunch - having office party. We will try some Xmas bread instead of cookies. R & N to come this evening, and we are all set to put up the tree tonight.
Please no bad storm!!
Mrs. Adams still in hospital until there is room for her at the nursery home. Ida Parker very low in hospital. Dewey Carr died - also Olin Hoffman from scooping snow at Thanksgiving time.
Dewey & Margaret at John C's over Christmas.
Margaret Adair Kruse addendum
See you Christmas morning hopefully by 1000 if OK by all of you & if nothing else happens - of so I’ll call again. Don’t fuss - we just want to rest and sit & visit.
Love & see you
Marge
