Dear Janice,

Thank you for the get well card. Suzy the Squirrel and I enjoyed it. She gets her casts off tomorrow.

I am glad to hear about your engagement. Who would guess that an office romance would be with the doctor? Aren't you glad you took that job? I've enclosed a gift card. If you don't have a Dub's Emporium close by, guess you'll have to check his website or come visit me.

I'm still confused about Bert. Did you say that he's marrying the "miracle worker" or was it her twin sister? Oh well, I hope everything works out for him. How did he get the dual citizenship to Mexico?

Elrod is doing better. I'll explain again. He went up to the top of the telephone tree to attach my "telephone chair" when a thunder storm came out of nowhere. Lightning hit the tractor seat and blew Elrod right of that tree. Luckily he landed in an abandoned eagle's nest. After resting for an hour or so he climbed down to the ground.

One good think is that I won't have to cut his hair for awhile. Elrod isn't happy that it's curly now. He's also digging a storm cellar for any future storms here.

Another good thing, I can tell Elrod and Nimrod apart.

Write soon,
Beatrice

PS. I will call as soon as I find a better tree since the lightning burnt the top out of the telephone tree.
