Manhattan, The Women Girls of Atomic City, and Kansas

Yes I am a horrible blogger now a days. I am almost finished with The Girls of Atomic City. I had put it down for awhile but picked it up again with recent advent of the show Manhattan. LOVE IT! While both book and show are not in the same geographical location they are both about the Manhattan Project. And totally fascinating. We re moving to Kansas and we are soooooo excited! Texas is NOT the place for us. Plus, we will be that much closer to family in Indiana. PLease send us good vibes that the purchase of our 1920's bungelow goes through!!! I'll be curles up in front of the TV this evening though, The Thin Man will be showing!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter/Oestara everyone!! I have been busy sorting through these letters from WW II. It is correspondence between a husband and wife. The years so far encompass 1943-1944, a birth of their child and a lot of letters! Often they wrote each other several times a day. Most letters ended with XXXXXXXXXX's, S.W.A.K., cute "I love you's" on the inside flap of the envelope, and lipstick kisses from the wife. Now.,if I can determine the color!!! I want to do some research on this couple. Several letters were sent to Bertie via J.A. Kirven Department Store in Columbus, Georgia, C/O Luncheonette. Should this be turned into some sort of book? Oooh, not sure if I have what it takes....... I hope everyone has had a wonderful Easter, Passover, and/or Oestara depending on your affiliation. Hugs
