Monday nite
Hi,
I went fishing today. It didn't take me long to decide that this fishing alone leaves a little to be desired. Had pretty good luck though and really enjoyed going the old route again.
I made an appointment to see the doctor next Friday and get checked.
Mon. morning-that fishing trip really made me ready for some sleep last night. I think you sere right when you said the bed makes a difference.It's felt so nice to crawl into a good bed at night these past two nights. The mornings are beautiful too. I sleep in the cabin and every morning the fresh air just makes you think it could never get hot and dusty and the sun coming up on the hills and woods out my window-I'd never imagine it could be this nice if I hand't experienced it. I guess maybe I'm a little over affected this visit, but as you know, I had some doubts as to whether home would ever be the same to come back to and I'm so tickled to find that it's still here. I didn't think I'd be such a sentimentalist about it all, but I guess we don't know ourselves as well as we think we do sometimes. I was afraid that everything here that had been so enjoyable before would be rather meaningless now that Milo is dead, so when I got home I found myself wanting to do the things that were just mine. (that he never did with me) first. But I find that home just represents family bonds and ties and that rather than things losing meaning they gain it and I'm more aware than ever of their value and therefore I'm pretty happy about coming home and anxious to bring you here sometime.
Hope you don't mind my writing on both sides of the paper, but my paper supply, etc. are limited out here in the cabin.
I've really been enjoying the food here-fresh corn and tomatoes especially. I remember you were looking forward to eating some fresh corn while home-how are you making out?
I sure do love you, Janet. You mean so many good things to me that I just can't tell you in words. I imagine that a few years together will help communication considerably. I'm so thankful for the companionship we have. It makes being with you good about any time and when we're apart you don't become unreal. It's a constant support. I like some of the other less constant aspects and potential, too.
Love,
Rob
