Hi Fleen,
My Summer’s going great! Every day starts out
with an early morning swim at the Cape Codder Hotel,
all because of my Mom’s Bursitis. She got permission
to use the pool, so we get there at 6:00 and I have the job
of scooping out the frogs before Mom gets in!
I hear the guests sit on the porch every night with cocktails,
applauding as the sun sets. I hope we can do it too
when we’re grown-ups!
I’ll see you in September… can’t believe we’ll be in Jr. High!
Love,
“E”
