Hi Uncle Fred and Aunt Eva.

It’s great down here in Florida. We are here with the highs chool band. We participated in the Citrus Festival. The rest of the time we spent at Circus World, Cypris gardens, and Disney world. There’re to much to see in the short time we are here. The bus ride was too long, 30 hrs.

Bill and Joamne

The long bus ride is exactly why you should never stay at an off-site hotel. 30 hours to get to the Magic Kingdom is just excessive.

Hi Marion + Walter

Nice to hear that you had nice Holidays. We did too, had six for dinner.

Frank and I are just fine. Enjoying 75° to 80° weather. Our love Lee + Frank.

come on down

Will take you here if you come down.

Brags about eating six people and then spends the rest of the message saying how nice it is where they are and begging you to come visit. Nope, nothing suspicious about that.

DEAR CATHERINE,

SHELLY + I HAD FUN WHEN WE WENT HERE ON TUESDAY. A BEAUTIFUL DAY. TODAY WAE ARE PLAYING GOLF AT ONE OF THE DISNEY COURSES. WONDER HOW YOUR VACATION IS? DID YOU HAVE MUCH SNOW?

AUNTIE ANN IS KNITTING A SCARF FOR SHELLEY.

LOVE, AUNTIE JEAN

So, Auntie Jean, why the yelling? She’s probably half deaf from listening to that song over and over.

Wed.

My sister + I are on a 16 day bus tour to Fla. Great so far. Temp. about 75° in the day – cool nights. D. World yesterday – Miami for 4 nights Sat. Anyway – we’re away from the snow.

Katherine

That’s kind of damning with faint praise, isn’t it? “How was Disney World?” “Well, at least it wasn’t snowing.”

Having a good time and hope you are too. Went to Cypress Gardens yesterday. We are flying back home on the sixteenth.

Had a letter from Anna ___ telling us that Mr. ___’s died and Evie ___ was in the hospital for two weeks due to a heart attack. Stewie’s sister has been helping.

Wish we could see you while we are down here. Sure did enjoy your visit in Behtlehem.

Love from both — Mary Gene and George

We don’t know if Mary Gene or George wrote this. We assume it was whichever one can’t stop five minutes to enjoy themselves without gossiping and probably talks about other peoples’ business in their sleep.

Three wonderful days at Disney World. Simply fantastiing one attraction out shines the other. Hope you both are well. Will write later. Emma & Gaston

We wonder which attraction they thought outshined what other attraction? We’re guessing “Space Mountain” and “Stomach ache from too many churros before Space Mountain.”

Dear Mr. & Mrs. ____ & Dennis.

Apparently, Sauna was startled by these giant animals just as he was writing his salutation.

Dear Janet,

Had a good trip down. Mother’s burn is improving. Dad & Mom were good travelers.

We made 584 miles the first day. Spent the night in a motel in Clinton, Tenn. Last night we stayed with Cousin Ruth in Apaplea, about 25 miles from Disneyworld.

Love Mickey.

Hope you are well. Have a good summer.

Are they fleeing to Florida because someone set Mother on fire? It’s really hard to tell. It’s also hard to tell if they ever made it to Disney World. At least they got close enough to buy a postcard.
