Email from Mama (Monkey) to Ellie:
I'm happy you're not too disappointed (about the snafus regarding the black walnut bed). These things have a way of working out for the best anyway. (just call me Pollyanna!)
I'm flying home today--have 2 days to get ready for big fundraiser at our house. I'm scared.
G'daddy seems better than ever physically. He doesn't seem as sharp as usual, but I think that's because his hearing is so BAD!!! Really frustrating--promise you'll encourage me strongly to use a hearing aid if I need it later. The real reason he won't use it is cost---he's so dang cheap!!!
Gotta turn off phone.
Love you muchly,
Mama
