Dear Caroll & Nadine

Do hope the bad throat is all better.
It has been chilly here but 75-80° is forecast for the week-end. The Wilhelms and Howard and Mary Lou were here Tues. Night and we warmed the place up with a hat card game. Lou doesn't lose to well! Just made a Snicker cake and the house smells so-o-o good.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Love
Eloise & Carl

The Haunted Manson, Walt Disney World

The ghostly organist plays a "haunting refrain" in the great banquet hall... one of many "horrifying" sights awaiting visitors inside the Haunted Mansion.

Hi there- 
This ghost just wouldn't compare to your playing on the organ! But he put on a great show at Disney World. We all went last Thursday and were fascinated. This world of fantasy is well worth the money!
I am enjoying my visit to the Southland. The weather has been great! We are starting home Tuesday morning. Will see you soon.
Love,
Joni

Hi.

At long last we are back on Sanibel for a month. The weather is perfect and we spend most of our time on the beach shelling & hiking. We really needed this after the hectic month prior to selling the stone.  

Keep Well.

Water Wonderland, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.

The concentration of cabin cruisers, house boats, sailing vessels, speed boats and all forms of water-borne craft is not exceeded anywhere by Fort Lauderdale,  truly the waterway wonderland of the world. This view looks east towards Pier 66 and Ft. Lauderdale's fine Beach. To the right is Highway A 1 A, a connecting causeway from the mainland to the beach. In the picture is a bascule bridge that is peculiar to the area because of the heavy boat traffic, that must move rapidly.

Hi friends,

Am having a swell time and getting a good time. Smoke from The Everglades has of yet been no problem here. Temperatures here from 80 to 85° daytime & 60 to 65° at night. Was it hot coming thru Georgia, 107°. Have driven around the city some and have not got lost yet. Hope the gang is all fine.
