Thank you for your honesty in your previous letter. If your dog does housework, by all means bring him with you! I would love to entertain him. If, however, he does not, I have nothing here for him. I, myself, have work animals. They have their individual chores to do. If they don’t pull their weight, they are fired. Kill vermin, bark at strangers, eat my scraps so my garbage doesn’t stink, etc. Do it or die. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
I should warn you though: I’ve turned into a bit of a hippie since we saw one another last. When you get here, you will be required to do things like compost and recycle. Don’t panic; it’s not that hard. You’ll get used to it. We also eat organic meat and drink almond milk. If you feel appalled by this, I suggest a trip to the store. I have reusable shopping bags if you need to borrow one.
We have full amenities here in the backwoods. Running water, indoor plumbing, laundry facilities. Our washing machine is, of course, an Energy Star rated appliance; we must think green. And we make our washing detergent. I think you’ll like it.
During the day, I will be unavailable for a few hours. I don’t know if I told you that I home school my children. We can discuss my educational philosophy at a later date. I hope you’re okay with that.
I’m terribly excited about your visit! I just know we’re going to want to be together for always. Please let me know if you have any questions!
Yours Forever,
Thelma
