Kelly got in the mood to call her Oregon relatives on the telephone last night. She called Grandma Sarah first because she missed her Then she remembered that cousins Julia, Kylee, and Charlie all had birthdays last week, so she started calling them. She got up to Charlie when it got too late so she had to get ready for bed, but she plans to call him tonight. She had great talks with all, but really long talks with Grandma Sarah and Cousin Julia. Cousin Kylee would have been willing for more, but she had to run off to practice. I am not quite sure which practice it would be. She is quite a musician (guitar) and could still be in a garage band, but she is also a champion rugby player. Who would ever imagine that I would be able to say that about my dainty little niece.

There is getting to be more and more talk about moving to North Carolina. We have found another big potential customer in that part of the world. Our chances would be helped greatly if set up an operation there to be able to serve them more rapidly for less money. Dad is in conversations right now. I do not know if I am the right person to do that, but I am the logical person to try.
