Happy Friday! The boys have found the stuffed whale from the basement, and it has made residence on the living room floor. They really like dragging around stuffed animals that are much larger than them. Whenever I see our stuffed Beaker lying stranded on the basement floor, I feel like I’ve discovered a body.
March is coming up. Are you excited for spring? The cherry blossom trees in the backyard have started to show buds and the days are getting longer, so I’m pretty happy. Is the weather getting nicer over there? I wonder if the daffodils in the backyard are blooming yet. Don’t they usually do so around the springtime? I don’t remember quite well, but there are daffodils in town that were blooming around a year ago.
I wonder when it’s going to be Easter next year. Mom (Mel) and I have sort of a similar guessing game that’s like ‘is Mom’s birthday going to be before or after Easter?’ vs ‘is Alice’s birthday going to be before or after summer break starts?’ Alas, I am not there to guess with any of you. I don’t remember the last time we celebrated Easter or mom’s birthday together. It was probably 2016, if not 2015, but I can’t recall a second of it.
Whatever the case, I miss you very much. I have a hard time watching representations of kidnapping on television. Will our troubles ever end?
With love,
Alice
