‘Lo Darlin’:-
Remember me?? Long time no see, no write, no hear!! Have been a little busy for the last cuple of days “Operatin'” & it does feel good to get back & relax a bit.
This perpetual fog & rain keeps hanging on, & honey – it goes right thru your bones – It’s so wet you could add malt & hops & drink it for beer, I’m sure!! Looks like we’ll have to do without that white Xmas again this year if we stay here — Speaking of Xmas – Santa has hit here in full force today – the place has taken on the aspect of a department store — Everything from sweaters like the one your mom made for me, to Holden’s “Notions Dept” — He even has Maraschino Cherries & Caviar!! All of which reminds me that my prized possession these days is that sweater, & I do mean that – I practically wear it to bed of late!! Bite your mom on the ear for me, huh!! [Text inverted]: How are my Pups doing?? Keeping warm??
We’re about to mix up a batch of “Cool-Ade,” fresh out of Holden’s Xmas box – Imagine – in this weather!! — It’s cold, & there’s only one place I can get warm — in Bed!! Comin’ along?? Goodie for me?? Ya better had, ’cause you’re my love – JR
That Box of Letters
