Unfortunately it was a long time before I was able to see my good friends again. But now I am able to write about them. I hope that all of you will be able to know what has happened because I tried to make my computer produce everything correctly so all my readers can read them. If any of my words have ben written wrong please remember that I am very old now and once I was a good writer.
Today I feel very proud to tell you that I can doo exercises regularly with a group of good women. But most of the other men around us do not do any exercises in the morning. Apparently they prefer to rest in the morning and do there work later.
t our men won’t come outside for in the morning. They prefer the afternoon and do there exercises at that time. Many of them like to play their games and other activities longer in the daytime.
When an afternoon begins there may also be aparties in our building, and that brings many people together. Every one who likes being with there friends also enjoys good food.
Right now I have nothing more to tell you about our exciting activities. But I will write to you again if we decide that we should also be good workers

I am so pleased to hear from you and know that you are doing well! By the way, please don’t worry about spelling; it may be the program you are using. Sometimes (I use Word) he program will jump in and fill in the spelling.

Dear Joanne,
It is SO GOOD to hear from you! Glad to read of your exercising endeavors. Recently I read an old children’s book that I think you would love: The Little Red Schoolhouse by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey. This book tells about a school that is a part of a community in a small town, where the children have many important projects, are given a small budget by the school board, have a kitchen in the basement, etc. Maybe you can get this from inter-library loan. Published in 1957. The author also wrote Miss Hickory, a Newbery Winner, probably from 1946.
Happiest wishes for a warm holiday season from Anne Kolibaba Larkin in Portland, Oregon
