Dear Noah
Had a 2 hour boat trip on Crater Lake today – a little warm and a long hot walk back from the lake. Tomorrow we go to the cave!

International Falls
Hi – It was 22 degrees at the lake this AM!! But the sun is still warm and the day clear and bright, so we had a beautiful drive here. The leaves are just lovely right now. It’s to be warmer now for a few days.
We “did” International Falls this aft. – but declined the H.S. football game. Are now watching baseball.
So nice to visit with you. Too bad we can’t exchange a few degrees of temp. I’m convinced there are more than 10,000 lakes in Minnesota.
Love, Va.

Dearest Virginia
Thanks for your great letter from your new penthouse! You always inspired me with your communications, timing and thoughtfulness. So now I have to get on my horse.
We are going to see Joy and Jim for thanksgiving. Please stop over on your trip to FL and LA. We plan to be in AZ for late Feb and Mar.
Love, Mary and Lowell
