Hey Trixie,

Meet us at the Fernwood Cemetery this Sunday- we’ll be passing through. Had to cut our trip short after Timmy drowned. Bummer about Duncan’s colitis- I didn’t know dogs can get that. Those medical bills must be astronomical! It’s 104 degrees at 9 am, we drove through Bryce in our under-garments yesterday, before the river took Timmy. What can you do? Kids these days.

Love ya,

Mom
