|  | Well, I've finally draggedmyself into the present and
 bought a portable gaming
 device! Now I'll never be
 bored again!
 | 
|  | I found this when goingthrough my old clothes.
 It's not my style anymore,
 but maybe you'll like it.
 | 
|  | I found your old diary inyour old room. Not that I
 would EVER read it, but it
 was locked anyway.
 | 
|  | I was putting a coat instorage when I found some
 money in the pocket! Don't
 you love it when that
 happens?
 | 
|  | I went on a trip with somefriends of mine. Your dad
 held down the fort. And by
 "held down the fort," I
 mean he sat around in his
 sweatpants and ate pizza.
 | 
|  | Say, string, haveyou been eating right?
 
 As your mom, it's my job to
 worry. And to send you
 stuff.
 | 
|  | I fell asleep with my hairwet, and now it looks like
 one of those styles you kids
 like so much!
 | 
|  | The other day on the bus, ayoung man in crutches
 offered me his seat.
 
 I guess I'm not a spring
 chicken anymore.
 | 
|  | I wasn't thinking today andI accidentally made enough
 dinner for you, me, and
 your dad. Your dad solved
 the problem by eating for
 two.
 | 
|  | Your dad and I went on atrip to a nearby hot
 springs the other day.
 
 The water was perfect, and
 my skin feels wonderful!
 | 
|  | Now, what was I going towrite you about... I know
 it was important, too.
 
 Oh, well. I'm sure it'll come
 back to me sometime.
 | 
|  | The man at the fruit standcalled me "miss" the other
 day. We have so many
 apples now that I'm going
 to make applesauce.
 | 
|  | I'm going to toss yourcomics out because they're
 just taking up space.
 If you don't want me to,
 please come home and take
 care of them.
 | 
|  | Do you like pancakes orwaffles better?
 
 Not that it really matters.
 They're all about the butter
 and syrup anyway!
 | 
|  | I overslept this Sunday, andwhen I woke, it was already
 noon.
 
 Your dad and I had a
 leisurely brunch that day.
 | 
|  | My mom always said thatchocolate's good for the
 soul. And she was so right!
 | 
|  | Your dad is teachinghimself how to play the
 accordion, but right now,
 all it sounds like is
 "BWAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
 BWAAAH BWAAAH!"
 | 
|  | There's a song I often findmyself humming during the
 day, but for the life of me,
 I can't remember the name.
 
 Do you think it's age?
 | 
|  | I was thumbing through anold family photo album the
 other day, and it made me
 really want to write you a
 letter.
 | 
|  | I made your favorite dishfor dinner tonight! Prune
 casserole!
 
 Hee hee! I'm just kidding!
 | 
|  | Your dad and I have startedjogging together in the
 mornings. I have to say,
 it's pretty funny watching
 your dad jog. And laughter
 is the best exercise!
 | 
|  | I just colored my hair, andnow my hair's a beautiful
 brown! And underneath
 the brown, my hair's a
 beautiful silver!
 | 
|  | A delicious bakery justopened up really close by!
 I bought some lovely
 cookies to share with your
 dad, but I already ate half
 of them!
 | 
|  | A letter I wrote youbounced back to me.
 
 I guess I forgot to write
 your address on there...
 | 
|  | You got some mail here theother day.
 
 It's only junk mail, but I'll
 hang on to it if you think
 you want it.
 | 
|  | Your dad went fishing theother day, and the freezer
 is packed to the gills with
 fish! HA HA HA!
 | 
|  | Your grandma sent me allthis fruit from her orchard.
 I'm sending you some.
 
 There's no way we'd get
 through it all here.
 | 
|  | Your dad decided hewanted to cook a meal for
 us the other day.
 
 It was delicious!
 | 
|  | I went to a huge early-birdsale at the mall the other
 day. The deals were good,
 but the crowds were so
 fierce, I got bumped and
 bruised.
 | 
|  | I think I want to take a triparound the world when I
 get older.
 
 Every time I spin the globe,
 I get more excited!
 | 
|  | The other day when I wasout, I came across a movie
 shoot.
 
 So, you might see me in the
 background as an extra!
 | 
|  | I saw the most beautifulsunset today. It was pink
 and orange...like a dish of
 sherbet!
 | 
|  | I looked up at the clearnight sky and started
 connecting the stars.
 
 I made a constellation that
 looked like your face.
 | 
|  | Tell me the truth, kiddo, doyou think I'm too old to go
 down waterslides?
 | 
|  | I recently won a poetrycontest at the community
 center! This letter might be
 worth lots of money
 someday! You never know!
 | 
|  | For some reason, I justcan't stop sneezing!
 
 I hope I'm not getting sick!
 | 
|  | I've had the strangesttomato-soup craving lately.
 I've eaten it for three days
 straight now!
 | 
|  | Your dad and I werehorsing around, and I tried
 to give him a piggyback
 ride. But I couldn't move at
 ALL! Not even a step!
 | 
|  | I saw someone here theother day who looked just
 like you.
 
 Did you visit and not tell
 me about it?!
 | 
|  | I went a little crazy at asale the other day.
 
 I thought this would look
 good on you!
 | 
|  | I'd say good morning, butwhat if you're reading this
 in the evening?!
 
 Well, I guess I'll take that
 chance. Good morning!
 | 
|  | I found this stationery, soI decided to write you a
 letter...
 
 But I still don't know what
 to write about.
 | 
|  | Your grandparents calledme the other day. They said
 that they were worried
 about you, but I told them
 to "chill out." That is how
 you say it, right?
 | 
|  | I got a flowery letter frommy mother the other day.
 
 Who knew she was such a
 poet!
 | 
|  | I found an old love letterfrom your dad the other
 day. You might not know
 this, but your dad can be
 quite the softie!
 | 
|  | My horoscope told me thatsomething good would
 happen if I wrote a letter!
 | 
|  | I tried playing racquetballwith your dad, but I
 accidentally creamed him
 in the face with my
 racquet.
 | 
|  | Don't get me wrong, it'snot that I don't think you
 can take care of yourself.
 I just want to make sure
 that you have everything
 you need.
 | 
|  | We just ate dinner a littlewhile ago, so I shouldn't be
 hungry, but these cooking
 shows sure do a good job
 making things look yummy!
 | 
|  | I don't know if I mentionedit, but your dad started
 taking pottery classes.
 This is his first creation.
 I hope you display it
 proudly somewhere.
 | 
|  | I recently started growingthings in the backyard.
 
 This piece of fruit was
 grown right there!
 | 
|  | Nowadays, it's important toseparate recycling from
 garbage.
 
 I thought this could help
 you do that.
 | 
|  | I know you like to sleep in,but have you been getting
 up and out as much as you
 should? I'm worried, so
 please take this.
 | 
|  | Your dad forgot his lunch,so he had to resort to
 eating things out of the
 vending machine.
 
 Chips are not a lunch!
 | 
|  | Your dad was questioningmy sense of style and
 asked when I bought my
 purse. This from a man
 who wears plaid
 suspenders!
 | 
|  | I've decided that today isgoing to be the day when I
 start eating healthily.
 
 I'm starting by cutting
 out sweets completely!
 | 
|  | It seems I spend all my freetime in my garden lately.
 
 How about you try to plant
 this somewhere?
 | 
|  | I decided to pull my sewingmachine out from storage
 and see if I still could...
 
 I started by making this
 little number for you.
 | 
|  | I pulled my knitting needlesout the other day and
 before I knew it, I had
 made this just for you!
 | 
|  | I found these clothes at theflea market the other day.
 Nice, hm? I think it'll look
 great on you!
 | 
|  | Do mi sol mi do! fun_00
 I'm trying my hand at
 writing a town tune. I hope
 I can come up with
 something good!
 | 
|  | Your dad and I go to thecafe every Saturday night
 to listen to music.
 The bitter coffee goes
 nicely with the sweet
 melodies.
 | 
|  | We had one of those brownmonsters in the house the
 other day!
 
 I used my slipper as a
 weapon against it!

|  | I found this when goingthrough my old clothes.
 It's not my style anymore,
 but maybe you'll like it.
 | 
|  | I found your old diary inyour old room. Not that I
 would EVER read it, but it
 was locked anyway.
 | 
|  | I was putting a coat instorage when I found some
 money in the pocket! Don't
 you love it when that
 happens?
 | 
|  | I went on a trip with somefriends of mine. Your dad
 held down the fort. And by
 "held down the fort," I
 mean he sat around in his
 sweatpants and ate pizza.
 | 
|  | Say, string, haveyou been eating right?
 
 As your mom, it's my job to
 worry. And to send you
 stuff.
 | 
|  | I fell asleep with my hairwet, and now it looks like
 one of those styles you kids
 like so much!
 | 
|  | The other day on the bus, ayoung man in crutches
 offered me his seat.
 
 I guess I'm not a spring
 chicken anymore.
 | 
|  | I wasn't thinking today andI accidentally made enough
 dinner for you, me, and
 your dad. Your dad solved
 the problem by eating for
 two.
 | 
|  | Your dad and I went on atrip to a nearby hot
 springs the other day.
 
 The water was perfect, and
 my skin feels wonderful!
 | 
|  | Now, what was I going towrite you about... I know
 it was important, too.
 
 Oh, well. I'm sure it'll come
 back to me sometime.
 | 
|  | The man at the fruit standcalled me "miss" the other
 day. We have so many
 apples now that I'm going
 to make applesauce.
 | 
|  | I'm going to toss yourcomics out because they're
 just taking up space.
 If you don't want me to,
 please come home and take
 care of them.
 | 
|  | Do you like pancakes orwaffles better?
 
 Not that it really matters.
 They're all about the butter
 and syrup anyway!
 | 
|  | I overslept this Sunday, andwhen I woke, it was already
 noon.
 
 Your dad and I had a
 leisurely brunch that day.
 | 
|  | My mom always said thatchocolate's good for the
 soul. And she was so right!
 | 
|  | Your dad is teachinghimself how to play the
 accordion, but right now,
 all it sounds like is
 "BWAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
 BWAAAH BWAAAH!"
 | 
|  | There's a song I often findmyself humming during the
 day, but for the life of me,
 I can't remember the name.
 
 Do you think it's age?
 | 
|  | I was thumbing through anold family photo album the
 other day, and it made me
 really want to write you a
 letter.
 | 
|  | I made your favorite dishfor dinner tonight! Prune
 casserole!
 
 Hee hee! I'm just kidding!
 | 
|  | Your dad and I have startedjogging together in the
 mornings. I have to say,
 it's pretty funny watching
 your dad jog. And laughter
 is the best exercise!
 | 
|  | I just colored my hair, andnow my hair's a beautiful
 brown! And underneath
 the brown, my hair's a
 beautiful silver!
 | 
|  | A delicious bakery justopened up really close by!
 I bought some lovely
 cookies to share with your
 dad, but I already ate half
 of them!
 | 
|  | A letter I wrote youbounced back to me.
 
 I guess I forgot to write
 your address on there...
 | 
|  | You got some mail here theother day.
 
 It's only junk mail, but I'll
 hang on to it if you think
 you want it.
 | 
|  | Your dad went fishing theother day, and the freezer
 is packed to the gills with
 fish! HA HA HA!
 | 
|  | Your grandma sent me allthis fruit from her orchard.
 I'm sending you some.
 
 There's no way we'd get
 through it all here.
 | 
|  | Your dad decided hewanted to cook a meal for
 us the other day.
 
 It was delicious!
 | 
|  | I went to a huge early-birdsale at the mall the other
 day. The deals were good,
 but the crowds were so
 fierce, I got bumped and
 bruised.
 | 
|  | I think I want to take a triparound the world when I
 get older.
 
 Every time I spin the globe,
 I get more excited!
 | 
|  | The other day when I wasout, I came across a movie
 shoot.
 
 So, you might see me in the
 background as an extra!
 | 
|  | I saw the most beautifulsunset today. It was pink
 and orange...like a dish of
 sherbet!
 | 
|  | I looked up at the clearnight sky and started
 connecting the stars.
 
 I made a constellation that
 looked like your face.
 | 
|  | Tell me the truth, kiddo, doyou think I'm too old to go
 down waterslides?
 | 
|  | I recently won a poetrycontest at the community
 center! This letter might be
 worth lots of money
 someday! You never know!
 | 
|  | For some reason, I justcan't stop sneezing!
 
 I hope I'm not getting sick!
 | 
|  | I've had the strangesttomato-soup craving lately.
 I've eaten it for three days
 straight now!
 | 
|  | Your dad and I werehorsing around, and I tried
 to give him a piggyback
 ride. But I couldn't move at
 ALL! Not even a step!
 | 
|  | I saw someone here theother day who looked just
 like you.
 
 Did you visit and not tell
 me about it?!
 | 
|  | I went a little crazy at asale the other day.
 
 I thought this would look
 good on you!
 | 
|  | I'd say good morning, butwhat if you're reading this
 in the evening?!
 
 Well, I guess I'll take that
 chance. Good morning!
 | 
|  | I found this stationery, soI decided to write you a
 letter...
 
 But I still don't know what
 to write about.
 | 
|  | Your grandparents calledme the other day. They said
 that they were worried
 about you, but I told them
 to "chill out." That is how
 you say it, right?
 | 
|  | I got a flowery letter frommy mother the other day.
 
 Who knew she was such a
 poet!
 | 
|  | I found an old love letterfrom your dad the other
 day. You might not know
 this, but your dad can be
 quite the softie!
 | 
|  | My horoscope told me thatsomething good would
 happen if I wrote a letter!
 | 
|  | I tried playing racquetballwith your dad, but I
 accidentally creamed him
 in the face with my
 racquet.
 | 
|  | Don't get me wrong, it'snot that I don't think you
 can take care of yourself.
 I just want to make sure
 that you have everything
 you need.
 | 
|  | We just ate dinner a littlewhile ago, so I shouldn't be
 hungry, but these cooking
 shows sure do a good job
 making things look yummy!
 | 
|  | I don't know if I mentionedit, but your dad started
 taking pottery classes.
 This is his first creation.
 I hope you display it
 proudly somewhere.
 | 
|  | I recently started growingthings in the backyard.
 
 This piece of fruit was
 grown right there!
 | 
|  | Nowadays, it's important toseparate recycling from
 garbage.
 
 I thought this could help
 you do that.
 | 
|  | I know you like to sleep in,but have you been getting
 up and out as much as you
 should? I'm worried, so
 please take this.
 | 
|  | Your dad forgot his lunch,so he had to resort to
 eating things out of the
 vending machine.
 
 Chips are not a lunch!
 | 
|  | Your dad was questioningmy sense of style and
 asked when I bought my
 purse. This from a man
 who wears plaid
 suspenders!
 | 
|  | I've decided that today isgoing to be the day when I
 start eating healthily.
 
 I'm starting by cutting
 out sweets completely!
 | 
|  | It seems I spend all my freetime in my garden lately.
 
 How about you try to plant
 this somewhere?
 | 
|  | I decided to pull my sewingmachine out from storage
 and see if I still could...
 
 I started by making this
 little number for you.
 | 
|  | I pulled my knitting needlesout the other day and
 before I knew it, I had
 made this just for you!
 | 
|  | I found these clothes at theflea market the other day.
 Nice, hm? I think it'll look
 great on you!
 | 
|  | Do mi sol mi do! fun_00
 I'm trying my hand at
 writing a town tune. I hope
 I can come up with
 something good!
 | 
|  | Your dad and I go to thecafe every Saturday night
 to listen to music.
 The bitter coffee goes
 nicely with the sweet
 melodies.
 | 
|  | We had one of those brownmonsters in the house the
 other day!
 
 I used my slipper as a
 weapon against it!
