Dear Bill,
The American Falls looked like this last year but they have damed the water to work on the rocks and it isn't very pretty this year.

Keep up your practicing on the piano and let us know when you get to the end of the book.

XOXO

Love, Mumu

****I imagine she wrote a couple of postcards at once, and enclosed them in a letter to Sibyl and Charlie, but I don't know for certain.

Sempervirens Falls - Postmark 31 Mar 1986

 

Sempervirens Falls, Big Basin, CA

Dear Mom & Dad,
Well, we've found heaven - again.  Have decided to stay here for a few years - gad it's tough knowing the ole school bell will toll again in just a few more days.  God meant me to live like this.

Went to the Mystery House today - Lori was facinated.

Tomorrow we head for 17 mile drive & the narrow gauge train ride & plan to camp in Big Sur.

Then Morro Bay (again), Ventura (Santa Lane) and home by Sat nite.  See you Sun.

Love - S, G & L

**** Note: And 14 years later, Mom takes a job in the redwoods!  Living the dream... who knew?
