449 November 4 - Sunday - 8:30 P.M. My Sweety Darling: This has been another one of the lovely days we've been having recently. After a disappointing trip downtown, Wendy and I returned home to work around the outside of the house. We raked up a large pile of pine needles, transplanted about fifteen geranium slips and gave everything a thorough watering. If you don't have some pretty flowers to greet you, it won't be our fault! We followed our gardening with an hours sunbath. I'm doing my damndest to hold on to some of this tan, but the sun's rays now don't seem to be nearly as penetrating. We didn't do a thing this [pg 2] afternoon except nap and write letters. This would have been a perfect day for the beach, but there will be other Sundays, and we can go down together. I was rather surprized today when I counted up the words Wendy knows to discover they numbered about 35 besides “dood dirl” “dap it” “dank oo” “nigh’-nigh” and “Oh Boy!” I don't encourage the baby talk, but she has such a large vocabulary for her age that I guess its only natural. Little sweetie is a wonderful mimic - both words and actions. I've noticed that when she gets confused, or something is over her head, she stops trying immediately and puts her thumb in her mouth. That's another sure indication that the thumb-suck-[pg 3] ing is just for comfort. Golly sweety, but I love you, and it will be so wonderful to have you home again. Each day brings us that much closer, and soon it will be the day! Goodnight darling - lets dream together - I Love You- Bobby
