About this subject

A small weathered-shingle Cape Cod cottage with a red brick chimney and white-trimmed windows, set behind a green lawn with flower beds of red, pink and yellow blossoms. Large shade trees frame the house, and a curving path runs along the right side of the yard.

Dear Mom + Dad. Here we are sitting under the pine trees. Swim in salt water over a nice lake in the park twice a day. Nice weather, not too hot. Kids sleeping good in the tent + trailer. Maybe I'll get to fish with the boys some cloudy day. Love Janis
