Dear Gloria - One + all - Now we are in Quebec after an exciting getting into it. You never seen so many cars + people in all your life. We manage to get into a hotel though - the bed is good - but no twin beds. The night before we had delicious strawberry short cake home made with thick whipped cream + strawberries from the garden. So far we have done pretty good. Well to-day is the 4th of July - but you would not know it up here. Well I will close now with love To all Aunt Elsie
