21 April<\/p>\n
Happy Easter!<\/p>\n
It is a grand Easter Day here. We decided to wait until next Sunday to attend church, and just enjoy the peace of home this day.<\/p>\n
No letters cam from either of our mothers this week. Thinking each day that a letter would come, I have waited this long to write. I hope, mother, that your trip was not to harrowing.<\/p>\n
Yesterday we drove to Muir Woods, just a few miles from San Fran across the Golden Gate bridge. The Woods is an area of about a mile square, with tall redwood trees, a stream running through\u2014a most serene, impressive little forest. Wouldn\u2019t it be fine to have a few acres of Uncle Mac\u2019s forest as your own a few miles from the city\u2014so that you could relax for a few hours of the week.<\/p>\n
After this would you address your letters to the ship. We may sail shortly after the 1st<\/sup> of the month. The \u201cplace to live\u201d situation in and around Astoria is as difficult as any other location, but we are doing all we can via mail to have a place waiting for us.<\/p>\n All is going wonderfully well. Our stay here has been superb, and I know it will be equally so in the great northwest!<\/p>\n Joan & Bob<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 21 April Happy Easter!
