Hi Trude,
I really enjoy your E-mails,especially these from Tucker Sanctuary. The pictures of the butterflies are pretty impressive!
I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend your B.D party. Lena said it was quite an occasion. She probably also told you I had a few unforseen problems on the way back from Pat's farm. Just trying to get back on my feet again.
Sounds like you're having a good summer.
