October 26, 1973 (Birthday card from Mardi)

Glad to get your address so I could get a card off to you.  Glad to see you haven't lost your artistic ability.  We are in an utter state of confusion here.  The man is wallpapering tonite though, so it's coming along.  Still 101 finishing touches.  We will be moving Tues and Wed.  Help!  Our bedroom and bath should be done and we can eat at Yolanda's.  Marti's little ass hasn't stopped once.  He'll never want to fix anything again.

Have a good day, wish we could have gotten together for yummy cake and ice cream.  Take care.  I'll drop a line later.  No time now!
