   marie wanted to work so i took off to do farm. at 1900 tonight got it all down. it wasn't pretty. eddie may never speak to me again.

  marie talked to cathy yesterday bout thanksgiving. i told her bethers was nervous bout traveling  with female wengert.  my family thus is planning to go to bloomfield. we [marie and i] then ascertained that there are several families up there. and if there is any interest we could have thanksgiving at beths and logans . so  i am throwing that out for discussion. if there are strong feelings one way or another speak up. i do think it would be best to get together, so what ever.
