Aunties and cousins...

Dear Nicky,

Today was a rainy day, so I couldn't do any of the yardwork I had planned, so I went with Mom and you guys out to Granny's to see Aunt Za and your cousin Noah. You two seem to like each other a lot, so it was nice. Also present was Miles the dog, who fascinates you. Soon Aunt Dutchy showed up with your uncle John and all your girl cousins, whom you adore. Aunt Dutchy was in a fould mood, however, but she lightened up a little as the day wore on. Then Uncle Matt showed up, then Uncle Jon, who was holding you inattentively so that you knocked over a lamp and a glass of wine. Granddaddy was upset at the idea of Granny's anger. But the day ended okay and it was fun overall.

Love,
Dad
