It’s March now! The plum blossoms (not cherry, apparently) have started to bloom in the backyard, and they’re very pretty. Have the daffodils in our backyard started to bloom? I always like those. Seeing them around reminds me of home. How has your week been? I hope there’s many flowers. How is the rose bush in the front yard doing? That poor thing always looked close to death. I would assume there’s not much asparagus anymore?
I must write quickly, because I have to go sell Girl Scout cookies soon. I think I’ve mentioned being a Girl Scout, but nothing’s happened since 2019 for obvious reasons. We’re going to Starbucks and a bookstore on the way, which will be much fun! Have you been to the Barnes and Noble lately? I miss that place a lot, it’s one of the nicest places in town. I hope you’ve also been to Starbucks, since I think Mom doesn’t like that place.
I finished my novel on Tuesday. It hasn’t been edited yet, but I’m glad it’s finished. I won’t spoil much for when I eventually post it here, but I will say that it’s dedicated to you (as all my works are). Here’s the dedication:
Once again
To
My dearest sister, Soren,
Is this work dedicated.
Long loved; long lost.
I hope you like it. I’m not quite sure why your name isn’t in italics, since I copied the format off of another book (which I assume knows the right way of dedicating). I’ve written a few versions of dedications before, but I like this one the most.
I hope you are well. I wish I could talk about whatever it is you are up to in Eugene, and not only what’s up here. Is spring break soon? I hope so. I love you. Have a great weekend.
With love,
Alice
