Hi Mom,
The kids started school on Monday. I was thinking of you because Constance has to collect insects for school. She brought home a cricket. She says they’re supposed to either freeze them or use alcohol fumes to kill them. I think I would just get odd looks if I asked for ether at the pharmacy. So, the way you dispatched them in college is out.
I told the kids about the time my apartment was infested with some black and yellow striped insects. I brought a dead one home to you and you pinned that sucker, pulled out your bio texts and identified it. Yellow jackets are tough little boogers. It was fun to see you flex those muscles that you hadn’t gotten to use in a long time.
We’re buying a house, finally. I think you’d like the front porch. It has room for sitting and plants. I have plans to hit up Craigs List and yard sales to slowly populate it and the back patio. I want to have lots of cascading petunias in different colors out there. And hanging baskets with trailing ivy coming down the sides. I wish you could see it. We’ll even have a dedicated guest room for once. I can put some of the furniture which you left me in there.
Love you. Always and forever.
