Postcard From Aunt Tootie

Oh gosh, where to start? We have just been having the best time crossing the whole darn country it seems in the Winnebago. It is so wonderful that your uncle Ed thought to get the one with the toilet. I can't tell you what a time saver that is. So your cousins Floyd and Ernie declined to join us. AGAIN! But we did stop in Topeka and peek in on your Aunt Susie who is doing much better since the stomach staple. (She's down to 350 pounds and looks GREAT!) And she also sends her love. (Her poodle is doing better too with the mange problem. Poor thing looked like a deranged sheep, though!) We stopped in an antique shop outside of Duluth and I just found the dearest little porcelain figures for my collection. I hope your Uncle Ed doesn't "break" them by "accident" again. Speaking of Ed, he has cut down some. He's only smoking a pack and a half a day. That's more than half what he used to smoke! He says he'll get the patch soon as they make one strong enough. Sigh. What else? Oh, he promised to stop smoking while driving. You know how that affects my asthma. Though now the doctor is saying it isn't "asthma" as such. Maybe just anxiety. Oh well, have to run! Tootles!
