Hello Shirley
I wish you could have made the plane trip with me, it was
swell.
Dear Archie Mable & Shirley:
I got home yesterday at 5 o’clock it was windy and quite a
bit of dirt in the air but has been grand today.
I was lucky enough to get reservation on a plane from
Portland to Denver. I left Portland at midnight Mon night & got into Denver
at 8:50 Tuesday morning. I stayed over in Denver that day & night &
left at 7:00 o’clock Wed morning hitch hiking home. I could have waited until 1
o’clock and taken the train but it was so windy & nasty in Denver that I
was ready to leave. Anyway it took me longer to get from Denver home than it
did from Portland to Denver. I saw bonnie & Del. He had to go to a union
meeting so only got to talk to him for a few min. I was down to the rubber pant
where Bonnie works & had talked to
her in the afternoon.
Dad has been painting & cleaning up the house & we
are going to have one room papered Sat. I helped paint today so I got off to a
good start on my first day home. The farm work is all caught up for a while but
a lot of fixing up to do.
Grandma saved me a piece of the wedding cake so I got in on
part of the wedding anyway. We have to go to town tomorrow after more
paint & wall paper & I guess we will paint the outside of the house if
we get around to it. The wheat looks grand here but wasn’t so good in eastern
Colo & edge of western Kansas. There was a lot of dust blowing in places
out there when I came thru. I will write more in a few days about my fishing in
Portland & goig up on Mt. Hood. It’s getting late so will close. Lots of
Love, Albert.
