July 9, 1992
How are you getting along? Magdalene tells me that you're doing alittle better.
When I watch the weather forecast on the news I see the storm from Hurricane Darby spinning across the southern half of CA and going through Utah and Nebraska and Chicago and I think those clouds over me are going on to all my kids. If I could just ride them I could go visit You and all of my kids.
We had our first watermelon on the fourth of July. That is the earliest we have ever harvested a watermelon from our own patch. I was amonth late getting out to plant melons this year and when I got there some volunteer melons were already growing from the seeds left from overripe melons left in the patch last year. They were the source of our early melon.
Sam is in the hospital again for more chemotherapy this week. He's been doing pretty well. He seems to be having some discomfort with his mucous membranes this time. This is to be expected. We expected it before this and have been fortunate to ave not had it, but were apprised that it would eventually happen as the chemotherapy progressed.
Pete is starting to work this week in the cantaloupe shed where he worked last summer. He plans to work acouple of months before he leaves on his mission.
Megan has been really excited about going to Nebraska to visit Laurie. She's been working at my office helping us switch over our charting system. We're trying to get on a computer system and decided it was a good time to upgrade our chart system also
We're into nectarines, plums and peaches from our trees and tomatoes, okra, zucchini from the garden now.
Megan had a party last night inviting her Merced church friends over. Those parties really work wonders in terms of getting the house cleaned. We just left town and came home to a clean house. We had a YW/YM party the night before.
Janet has hired Charlie to work the yard this summer. He's been fixing the sprinkler system and putting in a walk in the back of the house. He's a good worker. He's also taking careof the watermelon patch.
I think that's about all of the news
Love,
Robert W. Miller, your son.
