Dear Nina,
Just having a fabulous time. The wife got [-----] as [------] always. Is really a nice restaurant. We live [------] where the arrow is on the front.
We have a really nice apt. Looks like a palace after 103. Come down and see us. What are you doing for excitement?
If the weather would just clear up, we'd be perfectly happy. Lots of love, Pat
