Transcription

Easter Dear Meme, We are spending our Easter vacation down here. It has been awful weather for a [sunbath] and I sure have a swell [cap] However, the water is too cold to go swimming and I nearly froze when I did. Day before yesterday, I had my first sailboat ride on one of my friends boats. Wish you could be here with us to enjoy everything. [Whah] has been in the water all day. She does love it. Hope you had a Happy Easter. Love, Joan.
