229 April 14 - Saturday- 9:30 P.M. My Darling: More damn things seem to happen on Saturday for some reason. In brief - this morning I met Barbara and had to listen to a detailed account of the Victory Garden she and George have planted so they will have fresh vegetables all summer because, of course, George will probably be here indefinitely - then I met Agnes’ mother and heard all about Ralph’s coming home, next I learned that Marge’s husband Merrill, who wangled his way home on leave in September, is now permanently stationed in Washington. This afternoon Kay told me that Paul had decided not to rent to anyone with children - and that the Army was no longer issuing wooden foot lockers - [pg 2] so I still don’t have my wooden box. Gee sweety, do you suppose anything good is ever going to happen on Saturday? Wendy’s cold seems to be much better, tho she coughs at night and in the morning. This evening when I was putting drops up her nose, she wiggled around so much that I accidently poked her with the nose dropped. Of course, she started to cry, and we had to come see daddy here in the living room so you could make it all better. Wendy loves to be held up to your picture, and always stops crying and starts to smile. Saw Gerry and Dickie this morning, and they stopped by for a few minutes. Today was Glen’s birthday so Kay took us for a ride along the beach and then to a “party” at the creamery where [pg 3] Glen turned over the vase of flowers, and Wendy kept lunging at my coke. Just to keep me straight - does the interest on your insurance loan come due every April? I sent them a check for $24.53, but couldn’t quite figure out the note that they sent along. I really am disappointed about the house - it would have made such a really ideal set up - those are the breaks I guess - but we seem to be getting all the bad ones - No, I guess I shouldn’t say that - it isn’t really true. Its just that living in Carmel, so close to Casa is hard - especially on Saturday and Sunday when the men are out with their families - and I think of you and how gloriously happy we could be, if we were just together. Enjoyed your brief description [pg 4] of the movie with the Japanese dialogue, its interesting to hear how it was received. I’ll be looking forward to the pictures, and of course any more that you are able to send. There are birds nesting under the eaves of the house - and the noise sounds particularly loud at night. Guess I’d better dose myself up with some aspirin and go to bed - have been trying to shake off a cold all day. I love you my darling - Wendy and I each send you a special hug and kiss- Bobby Wish you could see Wendy play pat-a-cake. She won’t clap her own hands but grasps mine and claps them together - gigging, in great delight at her own innovation.
