Dear B and V
We are here for 8 weeks this time so there’s plenty of open dates on our guest room. Be sure to stay over Saturday night so that we can take in the scene depicted here!
Love, Mary and Lowell

We had great 3-4 hours up on Mt. Kitt at the observatories. Very interesting. Had been up when I went to U of Arizona, but of course all had changed. Have had great weather. Hiking and comping is wonderful (spent Saturday night in motel to watch game and get cleaned up). We stayed in Green Valley just south of Tucson. Very nice, new small town. See you soon.
Love, Tom
