from the hospital with the transportation that is furnished. It might be fun.
One of the men I played Battleship with was in the Tunisian campaign and during the battle on Hill 602 (?) he stepped on a land mine. He was eight hours on the ground before he was picked up and lost a leg at the knee.
I don't know when I've met a sweller bunch and how they do kid. The carpets make it so that a person generates lots of electricity and they love to go by and touch an ear. They also are expert at hooking a cane around a leg or a neck at unexpected moments. They live four to a room (with bath) and have a great deal of freedom to roam around. They have developed groups -- one ward or hall of rooms is known as the "Blockbusters". "Pop" is the head of this bunch and they pride themselves on their "lines." "Pop" just got his arm out of a cast so that now he can again do his two fingered "wolf whistle."
I guess I told you I fixed the kodak. 
The farm sounds good. Better not be in too much of a hurry to sell it as there will probably be some good times later.
Helen Dike has clearance orders for Tuesday.
Your embroidery looks nice.
