Friday Evening
Hello Honey,
This has been a rather exciting day here. About 10:30 this morning everyone
at work thought the war was over. Some started throwing things, some
kissed and hugged each other and the funny thing, Kate cried. The boss
told her to cry if she wanted too. One of the girls said it was fun while
it lasted. I’m hoping this is the end but it sounded too good to be
true. It has to come someday though and now is as good as any.
I didn’t write last night. I had just finished ironing and was about
ready to take a bath and Naomi came and wanted me to go to Canton with
her. She was taking another girl to the Doctor. Naomi and I rode
around while she was in the Doctor's office. Of course, we had to get
something to eat too. Naomi still loves to eat. She is going with a
sailor now. She is hoping he will ask her to go steady. Maybe you
know him, Glenn Dray. What's funny is he don’t have a car so she takes
him in hers. She says she can forget Charlie now since she has been out
with Glenn.
I’ve never got my tires yet today. I’m going to see about them tomorrow.
I didn’t get any mail today but I probably will tomorrow.
Darling, there’s no news. I’m going to get ready for bed now because I am
tired tonight. Honey I hardly know what to write tonight so I won’t write
much. I hope it won’t be long now until you get home. That will be
another exciting day. I love you honey, more & more all the
time. I sure do miss you honey but things are beginning to look brighter,
I think. Maybe it won’t be this way much longer. Here’s all my love
tonight Ralph & a million kisses.
Forever yours,
Marge.
