This is a funny email I wrote to my Aunt Marilyn, copying all of my cousins and extended family, just before falling asleep with you last night at our Mama-Maya hotel night and my Cousin Bruce’s reply – 🙂 He makes me smile…

Subject: Re: Still not enough emails……Hi Auntie Marilyn
Let’s see – what can I tell you about that might add cheer to your day?
* Painted Maya’s nails tonight bright pink and orange and bright pink, then orange,…. You get the idea
* We have FOUR – count them FOUR – watermelons growing in our front yard right now!! Too exciting!
* I learned today that the deadline that I got yelled at for missing yesterday by almost 6 months was actually August 31, 2013… So I’ve missed it be about 6. Go me.
* The flowers in the park where we had a picnic BLEW your mind – so rich in color they saturated your eyes!!!
* Kelly Clarkson is both incredibly talented and incredibly real. That is so good.
* Teenagers (say mine and 2 of their friends) are HILARIOUS to watch at a Maroon 5 convert. I know we were like that, but really?
* Today I deleted my reply to an email that really made me ANGRY – 3 or 4 times – and finally just wrote the word “Ugh.” and hit “Send.” Believe it or not, that was all that was needed.Tomorrow’s Friday, and Nemo is a great movie, and sleep awaits us, and we are loved, and that is all very very good.
Happy Dreams Marilyn and family- Love you all
April & Family
