Dear Mother & Daddy,

Seems like the letters get farther
apart every time. Our days
are pretty long, & we try to spend
as much time with Pooh as we
can. If anything, she's thriving
on the schedule, though her parents
are pretty beat. We are
really looking forward to our vacation
& getting away from all the
hustle. I've worn shoes more
in the last six months that I
have in the last couple of years,
& that's a bad habit to get into.
There is a great deal to be done
before we can take off in a carefree
manner, especially with this
house deal in the machine. The
man at the bank is very pessimistic
about FHA's delay, though
he has speedily expedited all of
the bank's part in the deal. You
simply cannot rush bureaucracy.
