Hello my fav-

It’s the end of the day and I was hoping to have started this letter a long time ago. Hopefully today your getting the package I sent you with writing stuff in it. My weekend was very busy. The first 2 puppies went home Saturday morning. Wes and I did go to Fran’s so Wes could help her on her computer. She wanted to save information in case she lost the computer. I pretended to sleep on the couch. We took Hiedi with us. She and Shelia got along okay, except Shelia tried to herd Hiedi around like she was a sheep and gave Hiedi a little nip in the butt. After that Hiedi wouldn’t play fetch if Shelia was around. Afterwards we stopped be Shirley’s just long enough to cut Gretel’s hair down. Shirley is almost done with her siding and window replacement project. Sunday I drove to Yakima to deliver the third to go puppy, then afterwards I went to a fruit stand and got Shirley 3 boxes of tomatoes. I took Fritz and Emma with me and we stopped at the Green way so they could pee. Then we stopped and got lunch at Burger Ranch. I love those fries and fry sauce. Fritz and Emma got hamburgers. Then we drove over White Pass and dropped off Shirley’s tomatoes. Shirley was working a double shift so we didn’t stay long. I left Shirley a thing of fry sauce. Lol. I drove over 600 miles last weekend. Yesterday, I had the day off for Labor Day, Mike and I cut out a hole in the wall between my room and the bird’s room. Mike had spent Saturday clearing out the room and removing the carpet. So the new opening is four feet wide and the same height as a regular door. I went to D and got some trim for it and casing. So it is all nice looking and the trim matches the rest of the house’s trim. Then we painted it the same color as my room. Even the floor is the same color, only I painted it with hi-gloss enamel. So it should be easy to clean in and stuff. I’m glad that that’s done. Now I just gotta do some caulking and repaint the trim. I got some enamel for that also. Mike is still waiting to find out when he is gonna start working. He called them today to find out what’s going on. Will write more tomorrow. I miss you. It was great to talk to you on Sunday.

Love Mom.
