Well, Mom is getting her dose of uniforms in this post,
she's dancing her feet off
and found that black silk skirt she's had her heart set on.

We went out digging around and cleaning out mom's room yesterday. Boy, was I excited to find ANOTHER DIARY! 1943! And, more soldier letters, some from '42 and '43 none...
We have a hummer nesting in the avocado tree outside our living room window! We had one farther in the backyard avocado tree (we have 3 trees) a couple years ago, but only discovered it at the end. This one Taylor discovered as it was first getting built. She took about 10 to 14 days to build it. It is sooooo tiny! It...
