I have my dog but no cat here. My pups is really lucky com- pany. We often go down on the beach and play together - I am [len there?] a block from the water. There are no trees here so we do not have any birds and the soil is green so no flowers. It is really a very desolate [nasty?] a place. I read a great deal and sew a whole lot. I used to do pimp needle [rock?] but haven't in a long time. Of course I am more ac- quainted with the people here and can get out more. Every one is so far away from every one else tho'. I am so glad you are able to be back in [closer work?] this year and wish I could be back there as I en- joyed all our good times together. There have been fifteen planes over me this morning and I always have the lovely ocean to watch so I hope I can get to feeling better. Love and best wishes to you and your mother. Lovingly, Helen Baker
