[1979 November 18 – Jeannette Saunders Barnett]
"Every week we seem to have 2 of the family in at different times. This week we had Alex, Linda, Gregory 3-1/2 & Ryan. 2 on Monday for lunch & afternoon. They are so sweet. … David came for supper as Sharon works Monday nights & he put a shelving unit together for me. … Liz & Wayne came Friday night for supper & Elizabeth & I were going to a shower together. … We went out to Elizabeth's place to see their new dining room set that they just got on Monday night. They were all excited. They have a small room, so they got a pine set. A round table & 4 chairs & small buffet. … Doug & Darlene are kept busy as they had another son Sean Alexander June 28th. So that is 3 sons for them & 6 grandsons for us. Aaron is 3, Jason is 2, & Sean 6 months. Darlene does very well as Douglas has a long day. They have had sickness just lately & it goes hard on them. Well, I remember those days. Couldn't do it now."

We have been to Newfoundland and just now we are crossing back to Sydney, N.S., Then we go on to see Prince Edward Island. Then we will be making tracks for home. We are just starting our 3rd week. Had one bad day – fog & rain so that is pretty good. Earl, Jeannette, David & Elizabeth are with me. We have the car. Every once and a while we stop to take pictures. All are keeping well and trust this will find you enjoying the same. Alex"

It has mountains,, lakes, geysers, hot springs, volcanoes and many beautiful waterfalls, glaciers. It is a very busy place. We met with the Christians yesterday. They are very small but enjoyed the Fellowship. Hope you have had a good summer after that long winter. Cheerio. Bless as the Icelander says Earl & Jeannette"
