Hi kids. Seemed good to hear your voice again, its really hot here today. Everything looks lovely after the rain. Where we were Sat-Sun is the most beautiful place yet. This is one side of the bay same as James Cag home. Don't remember which card I mailed you Sat so this one goes. Will write a letter tonight.
