Zoo, and no more laptop...

Dear Nicky,

Well, this morning I worked in the yard for quite a while. I mowed the lawn, cleaned out some gutters, killed two yellowjacket nests, pruned, and sprayed some lime on the shrubs and tress. Mom took you and June to the supermarket, the deli, and the jewelry store. When you guys came back we went to the Turtleback Zoo near Stones. It was pretty nice, but some of those barnyard animals really stink. You guys seemed to enjoy it. Then we went to eat at Friendly's. The food was tasty. You and June split some chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, and french fries. June ate some of everything, but you ate mostly french fries. Mom and I had sundaes, but surprisingly you guys weren't too interested. Afterward we went to the community pool to check it out at long last. It looks really nice and wholesome. Back home, we hung out on the deck for a while, then it was time for bed. It was a nice day. In sadder news, my faithful ol' iBook is dead; the hard drive's gone irreparably bad. But I was able to back everything up, so that's good. And maybe I can replace the hard drive and bring it back from the dead. Who knows? Anything is possible.

Love,
Dad
