VW Bus

June, 1988

Dear MaryJanes,

I bought a vintage VW camper van with a Westfalia camping interior. So now we can go camping in something other than a tent. The inside has a stove, sink, refrigerator, cupboards, and a couch with a table that folds down to make a bed. The top of the camper pops up so an adult can stand up inside. It is like a compact, little house. I love that when I am driving, you can sit in the back and color will looking out to a wonderful view. I love driving it and I am looking forward to all of the little trips that you can I will take in it. We added a German Shepard, "Keyda" to our family and she sits in the back with you as we travel around. It's nice to have a dog again, as well as the security that she adds to our road trips. I am attaching a snap shot to this letter of us on a trip into Canada.

Now Buckle Up!

Love,
Galoshes

    Katy & Pinky,
    I smiled when I saw your comments!
    Notice that MaryJanes is wearing a skirt...LOL, but at least it was a blue jeans one!
    No tomboy moments for her...ever!!!
    Interesting as to how others might have pictured us, and funny that about how you pictured us Katy.
