Dear Dale,
You didn’t call me like you said. So today I was surprised to get your money order. Noah and I thank you very much.
I cashed it and bought Noah four pairs of pants size 4T, two shirts, socks, and a pair of snow boots. I also bought him a toy rifle for his birthday which will be from you and a “My Pet Monster” for X-mas from you. I almost forgot. He also had McDonald’s for lunch and a bag of snickers. He’s a happy boy! When he unwraps his rifle he’ll flip.
I guess I’ll come home the first week of January. It’s the least I can do for you. I will need two hundred dollars to do it. Can you help with it? Also, don’t tell my family. We’ll surprise them.
Tom will drive a UHaul and fly back. After I have the baby he’ll come get it once I’m through breastfeeding. My cookies are burning. Get in touch soon.
All my love, Cheryl.
P.S. Enjoy your pictures.
Noah had portraits taken and I pick them up on the 10th. You’ll get some for you and Barbara.
❤💙❤💙
