Dearest,
Now I'm an old
salt. Spent a quiet day. Saw a few dental patients and
went through a routine "general quarters" and "abandon ship"
drill.
It has been overcast and cool all day
but rather smooth. Just now we have quite a roll and a pitch, just
the thing to rock me to sleep.
Here is the menu for today. I must
really begin to watch my waist line. Breakfast was French toast and coffee. Lunch started with soup, then stuffed bell
pepper and string beans with coffee and cake for dessert. For dinner
we had salad, steak, cobbler and coffee.
After dinner we adjourned to the
ward room and I got talked into a poker game. You know how much I
love cards but anything to be sociable. After three hours I lost the
magnificent total of $1.05. This ocean
air is quite conducive to sleep so I decided to turn in
early. I'm really glad I wasn't ahead and could quit when I did.
How are you and the
kids? Keeping your chin up? I have the pictures of my
girls here on my desk before me and I hope that when we reach our destination
I'll find one of my Sweet to add to my collection.
Goodnight my Sweet till tomorrow
Your loving husband
Gil
