Christmas Card 1941?

Okay, I've scanned all of the letters from 1941, at least the ones that I can find for now. Which leads to me to a new theory. I think that after they married, grandma traveled to meet grandpa's relatives (there's a letter from Aunt Juannie to grandma at the end of October 1941 that indicates this) maybe following the last letter of 1941 (November 16) she came back to Massachusetts? I guess I'll have to start on the 68 letters from 1942 and see if they shed any light. There's a pretty funny letter from Juanita to grandpa in November. I've scanned it so maybe I'll post it soon.

The above is a Christmas card I believe grandpa might have given to grandma the first year Christmas they were married.

Unfortunately it's tough to read what the inside says so I'll write it out:

You're a very modern Wifey

Up-to-date as you can be

But you have some real old-fashioned ways

That sure appeal to me.

And I'm mighty glad you have, Dear.

For the biggest thrill in life

Is to spend a Merry Christmas

With a real home-loving Wife!

Hubby

This cracks me up.

I'm realizing that already I'm getting all caught up in parts of this letter and parts of that one and I'm not organizing my thoughts very well.

This is where I'm at today:

There are 5 letters from Paul to Ethel from November 11 to November 16, 1941

There is one letter from Juanita to Ethel at the end of October and one letter from Juanita to Paul in November.

There's the wedding invitation.

There's the announcement in the paper.

There's the church bulletin announcement.

There's the Christmas card.

I have all of these scanned and logged and are in order.

I've put all of the letters in the 1942 pile in order. There seem to be a few letters from a man named Bob. I think Dad might know who that is.

I'm going to read a few of those tonight and see what happens next...
