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
