Dear Mother,
Magdalene said that you were having some allergy trouble with the spring blooms. That's a nuisance. I had my worst allergy season in three years this year. It was a result of the doctor reducing my prednisone dose down to about the normal amount that the body produces so it wasn't suppressing the symptoms any more.
Janet and Charlie went to Tucson to visit her sister this weekend. Megan and Sam are here with me. Sam went to a merit badge clinic today that took up the whole day. I forgot to give him his medicines before he left. I didn't remember until Janet called me this afternoon to see if I had remembered. I was worried that he might have a seizure before he got home. His medicines got mixed up before when he had that seizure is why we're so concerned. I noticed another phenomenon which was revealing to me. He came home more alert than usual and the scout master mentioned him having memory (which he usually doesn't have) I think the medicines are suppressing his mental alertness way more than I realized. The doctor said that if he doesn't have more seizures for a couple of years, they may take him off those drugs. That encourages me a lot. I thought he would just continue at his present state of alertness.
I'm sending you a clipping from the paper ion Megan. She's having a good year in tennis.
We're having nice eather...too nice. We'd like more rain. We're getting a pretty good fruit set on the trees. Hopefully we'll get plenty to eat.
A big limb fell from the big Eucalyptus tree in the barnyard and hit the barn roof and some pens. It happened just s I got home after a meeting one night. It was dark and I just heard the bang as it hit the roof and slid down. I didn't know what it was until the next morning and daylight. It didn't do too much damage.
I surely appreciate Magdalene answering my letters.
Love, Robert
