A Letter from Maggie

Maggie is good at so many things, writing letters is NOT one of them!!! In three weeks I have received three letters... I use the term "letters" quite loosely as I think it should have more than a few sentences, but at least everything is spelled correctly! Here is the news from camp:

Letter one: (received a few days after she left)
Dear Mom, I miss you! Tell Piper I miss her. I love you and everyone. Tell me what Pip says at bedtime! Love, Maggie (Maggie written in bubble letters)

Letter Two: (a postcard received about a week later)
Dear Mom, Can you send more money? How are Piper and Seamus? I miss you! My counselors are fantastic! I learned lots of guitar chords. I love you the most, Maggie (Tim's postcard said that she loves him the mostest - I think that's a tie)

Letter three: (received yesterday)
Dear Mom, TIAD started yesterday, I did the trivia and got 5/5. It was great. Tell everyone I miss them and Mom, there are NO climbing trips this session! Maggie

I will translate letter three... TIAD is color wars. 5/5 on camp trivia is good. She misses everyone... including anyone who might be reading this. No climbing trip means only one overnight camping trip during four weeks, oh well.

Here's today's picture taken at the Council Fire. Maggie and her friends are putting a key log in the fire, it is a way to honor a friend or family member. Doesn't she look old??

 
Four weeks is starting to feel VERY long, Tim went up north yesterday to pick up our canoe from a friend... I almost went with to pick up Maggie, or at least spy on her with binoculars from the lake!
