Hi, Sweetness--

     You know it does seem funny having a holiday in the middle of the week.  I still think that today is Tuesday.

     You can't guess how proud I am of my watch, and it keeps perfect time.  Have called up several times yesterday and today, and it is always right on the nose.  Everyone thinks that it is pretty nice.

     I sure feel lazy, and we still don't have much work to do.  I am glad that you have decided to come up here for New year's and I know that we should have a lot of fun.  I will plan to come to Portland then the weekend of the 25th, and unless something happens I should have some money to spend.  It seems like my Portland trips always peter out, but I'm not giving up hope.  I am looking forward a lot already to your coming down--in fact I can hardly wait.

     Can't figure out why I'm so dopey--I yawn every minute--and sit and dream--and do I ever dream.  Honestly, I hope pretty soon and I start acting my dreams--cause I'm getting pretty excited just thinking about everything.  My lists are growing and growing, and I really have quite a lot of things I want to do.  That is just it--always something I want to do, but have neither the time nor the money to do it.

     Glad you got home O.K.  I always feel kind of guilty when you have to make that long trip back home, but when you have company, I don't mind too much--at least I know that you won't go to sleep.
    
     Think I will have my picture taken one of these days at Kennell Ellis for the Oregana, not that they will put it in or anything, but then if the proofs are any good I will always have them.

     Sorry dear, for this droopy letter, but I do love you and think of you a lot, and can hardly wait to see you again.

                                                           All my love,

                                                              Dotty
