NEXT LETTER
July 30,1999
Dear Rebecca,
The letter you wrote was terrific! I enjoy hearing from you even when I don't have time to write you in return.
I'm going to try harder to answer your letters. Maybe we can become not just friends but pen-pals also.
I miss you also and think about you and the rest of your family often. One of our horses had a colt on easter
(tammy's mare). He is really getting big. Brett had a horse that was pregnant also but his died while trying to give birth
to twins.It was sad. She was my favorite.It was even sadder for brett since it died on his birthday.
That was the bad news, now lets pick it up and have some good news! Brett just turned 9 years old and Tammy
just turned 11 years old. They like to swim and go camping and fishing and ride thier horses. I enjoy the horses also and
all that other stuff. I've been working at a greenhouse selling flowers during the spring and will probably do it in
the fall again. I've also been training horses during the cooler weather. That's what I enjoy the most!
The weather has been really hot here. I guess it is around most of the country. My favorite time of year is
still spring and fall.I guess it is because I like to feel the wind blow on a warm day.
Well I am getting dinner ready so I'll write you later. Enjoy your trip to Mackinac City and the rest of your
summer vacation.
Friends Forever,
I love and miss you
Aunt Betty
P.S. smiles keep you pretty
XOXOXOXOXO
