Monday 12th

My darling,
This is the last of these boring weekends. This has been the worst with an extra day off (today) and nothing to do. We’re nearly ready to beat our heads against the wall. This time next week we’ll be within shouting distance of home. Can hardly wait.

I think you did real fine on the chairs etc. If you like the ones at Sears, go ahead and get them.

I am going to put in for 20 days leave effective the 24th – this will cover our trip to Calif and I won’t go back to work until the 14th of Jan.

The school is all over but the shouting. This week will be all lectures - no exams or problems. I’m in good shape, grade wise so have no worries there.

Will probably go to a few movies on the base and try and push the clock ahead to get out of here. We leave here 2am Sat, spend Sat nite in Wichita Falls, Texas and should be in around 8pm Sunday nite if the roads are clear.

There just isn’t any news. Have been playing bridge, cribbage, watching TV and sleeping til I’m about to go nuts. Also starving for some home cooking. Never did get to Wash – no airplane this weekend. We really got the breaks there!

This will be the last letter, honey, will be home in just a few days now. Miss you more each day and love you more all the time. See you Sunday nite.

All my love,
Hubby.
