Love Letter 51 – Chatting
Love Letter 51 – Chatting
I take a habitual late afternoon walk down well acquainted Kits streets, the intersecting multi-purpose parks and cyclist corridors lead me to an all too familiar corner coffee/pasta bar. Gelato or almond croissant? Bubbles or London fog? Indoor or patio? I carefully balance my almond croissant and London fog (although tempting, bubbles were only by the bottle) making my way through the partially open windowed door and onto the cozy rectangular patio. Within minutes I’m gleefully bouncing back into 1960 with Dean Martin and Mom’s December 6th Love Letter 51:

Had a fairly good day at work, but several doctors were feeling rather grouchy so were not too pleasant, but it’s all in the game –
Spent about 15 mins. at home at noon as I had many errands to do and then sat & had a cigarette, cup of tea & read your letter (wonderful to hear my honey talk w/ me).
Home at 6 pm and threw some food down and off to the show w/ Carole Wiley — “The Subterraneans.”
Got a funny feeling at times, dear there were a number of scenes of San Francisco – our city and gee to think we drove up & down so many of those streets – a little exaggerated at times re: beatniks, but truly enjoyed it.
”Elmer Gantry” coming next but don’t think I’ll have time to see it.
Am working tomorrow, but going earlier & then taking off for my dentist appt. (last one thank goodness, but no doubt my bill will be a dandy).
Busy Wed eve, but Thurs will stay @ home to address some cards for Gran & write a few letters.
Guess Betsy is real busy now w/ earlier wedding plans – have you met her man yet? Carol know him?
Hello to all.
At least this Saturday will go by quickly w/ having it off – will finish up on a lot of stuff (Christmas shopping & wrapping, etc) – there is always a great crew downtown on Sat. so will probably spend a fair amount of time chatting.
It usually takes me about 1/2 an hour to get down the street, meeting people I know.
Well dear I will close now – have a cup of tea, cig. & bed.
I miss you so my darling & can hardly wait to have you w/ me.
You know time is going by rather quickly — only 66 more days (soon it will be less than 2 months!!).
I love you so very much, Bryan!!
Yours always,
Bette xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Chopp – Chopp!!
P.S. Honey how much is that Golden Gate pic. someone inquired about it to-day?!
Half an hour Mom?! You’ll be lucky if you get a few slushy steps past Freedman’s confectionery before the great downtown crew stop you in your mukluks tracks for some spirited chinwagging sessions.
But in sixty six short winter days and nights, you and Dad will be chatting incessantly while willfully wondering the downtown streets of Winnipeg and reminiscing strolling the streets of (your) San Francisco!
Can be here on the street where you live,
