Melissa,
I know what you've been up to and I'm proud of you. You're learning that a woman doesn't need a man to have a full life. Besides, you've got mopsy, and she loves you more than any man would. Animals are definitely therapeutic.
Tomorrow we go to Alabama for two weeks. Plan to see some of the sights, attend 2 car shows. We were in Alabama about 4 years ago. Pretty state, especially in the rural areas.
Last week-end we were in Eustis, Florida at an antique motorcycle show. Some of the older motorcycles, especially the Harley's & Indian's, are worth mega bucks.
Never saw so many people in wheelchairs, or walking with canes or crutches. Riding bikes can be a dangerous hobby. Not much between you & the road.
Had to get this card. The resemblance to Mopsy is strking.
Love you,
Grandma & Grandpa

ED: Is it just me, or were you surprised that this was from the grandparents? It wasn't just the motorcycles and car shows, it was the handwriting, I think. And the tone. I thought it was from a friend of a similar age.
