Hey, Mom. How are you? Not a lot has been happening this way. I’ve picked up the phone several times to write to you, but I couldn’t figure out what to say.

Austin and Chloe went to Disney this week. It looks like they are having a good time. He’s braver than I am. I wouldn’t want to be there during COVID times. But I’m also agoraphobic, so there’s that.

Ramsey started horses this past Saturday. I don’t have any pictures because she had a terrible start to the horse season. She was actually ejected from the ring because she was trying to bite the horse. She only got a mouthful of mane hair, but it upset me that she was having such a fit. We’ll try again this week. Maybe it will go better, and I’ll have pictures to share.

Ramsey has been wanting to do a lot of reading recently. She’s been going through all her books, and she even made us buy a cereal because it advertised a free book with purchase. I guess that’s the only way she would get me to buy yucky Froot Loops.

She’s getting so good!

I know you miss Cliff’s humor, so here is something to make you laugh. Dandi is in the habit of bringing sticks and rocks and other outside debris into the house. Cliff often gathers it up and throws it back outside when he sees it only to find the same stick back in the living room a while later. Apparently, he thinks this sign by Dandi’s dog door will deter her.

At least he’s keeping his humor.

Friday we will have our first virtual Family Fun Night. I think you would have liked participating in it. Maybe I should find an online Trivial Pursuit game we can all play. I remember how you used to play that back in the day. I’m hoping we can make this a semi-weekly thing. My therapist says I should seek other companionship outside of the home, so good old-fashioned competition might be the way to start this. I wish you could join us. Maybe we should call it Cheryl’s Charades if we choose to play that. Or Mom’s Mad Libs. Or Nana’s … shoot can’t think of a good one. But I’ll send you some images from our game night. I should have thought of this sooner.

I love you. Always missing you.
