time for breakfast say 9 o clock? then Esther will always be ready even if we are late sometimes - or if you are extra early- leave a note to us all. Also as much possible notice about guests & parties. I have gotten good at getting a party of 15 together on remarkably short notice often. I like this, as I feel the stimulation of outside visitors is very necessary for me - so rather than plan months ahead as your mother does, do the best I can under the circumstances, & try to include the children when possible. 

3 Do let me know the areas in which I can operate on designing our home. I realize you are & should be, the one to plan & design it, but when you are too busy there are many things which I could go ahead with - to make life smoother & more efficient.

I've done this more & more lately in your absence - but since last Sept. when we got together with Hammarstrom nothing has happened except Susie's radiator. That day the [[strikethrough]] House [[/strikethrough]] Furnace was off for 8 hrs - so Esther Greta & kids all caught cold & complained to me about it. Usually the woman's domain is her home [[strikethrough]] but with an architect it is denied when he uses her toward that end. [[/strikethrough]]
