I trust your mom is in good health. (My teacher, Mrs. O'Connor, said to always be polite.)

Yesterday we went exploring in the abandoned cave over by Old Man Donaldson's farm. He got mad and yelled at us for trespassing, but we managed to grab a neat glass necklace before we left.

Last weekend a bunch of us camped out overnight in our fort. We made a throne out of old fiberglass insulation for the Frightmaster to sit on, and took turns sitting on it and telling scary stories with a flashlight under our face. Woody told one about a ghost named Vlad who haunted the guy who stole his navy skin. Vinnie was so scared he peed in his sleeping bag. It was totally swell.

Another!
