How’s your summer going? I hope you’ve been having fun. Amazon Pool should be open by now. Have you been? I haven’t been there in a long time. That place was fun. I also liked the playground next to it and dinosaur statues you could climb.
When I wrote you on my birthday I did so before I opened my presents. I got some cool stuff, (like a stuffed seal named Lucille. The company made the pun I promise) but my favorite was a 1916 copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray, my favorite book. It’s so old! I also got another copy (although newer) in a bundle containing Dorian Gray, Dracula, and Frankenstein. It’s all pretty cool. What did you get for the last four birthdays?
We’re getting another kitten soon! Mom wants a boy so Pearl doesn’t consider it a rival, and I’m wracking my head over names. My only idea right now is Argos, after Odysseus’ angel of a dog in The Odyssey, but I’m not sure. Pearl was my magnum opus of cat naming, and girl’s names are easier anyway. What do you think?
With love,
Alice
