should have seen us struggling with curtains. It wouldn't have been funny if I had not had such a famous struggle with them last spring at our house. That is just the nature of curtains so it doesn't discourage us at all. 
There are crowds downtown now so that it takes more than an hour to get lunch. I may carry mine in order to get a few errands done at noon. I have a car to return to the shops every night but Mondays, so I don't have much time left when things are open downtown. When you're not at the shop with the blue truck I can't get around downtown like we used to. 
I worked pretty hard at the office today. No one was real difficult but I certainly had more things to do than the watermelon vendor at the Fourth of July celebration. Such a variety of cases that we have now. The Board still thinks we haven't anything to do because the cases we have are so long that it takes more time per family. They haven't figured that out I suppose. 
Goodnight laddie. I love my husband and I'm going to soon be in the place you fixed. To my laddie from war war.
Love,
Laura
