Delmar and I camped a couple of days at Shadowrock Park in Forsyth. We visited with Betty and Justice DeChenne while there.We made a trip to Dick’s 5 and 10 in Branson.

We are sorry to hear that our Sis, Dorothy Burton, is in the hospital. We got word today that she is doing better. We were glad to hear good news.
I talked to Uncle Hugh and Aunt Violet Morris and they are doing pretty good. Aunt Violet is doing some embroidery on quilt blocks. Uncle Hugh just sleeps a lot.
It is very uplifting to be reading News from the Homestead again. We are glad River is doing better and back to writing about the things we enjoy reading about. Keep up the good work, River. Until next week remember to smile and the world will smile with you.
