Dear Orie,
I reckon this doesn't look natural to ou now, it is quite some place all right, not quite so lively as L.A., but I think it is getting there. e went out to La Jolla yesterday, some sights there aren't there. Hope you folks are all O.K. Love from Francis & Bee Windler
(sounds funny, doesn't it?)
