Dear Betty and David, How is everything at home? I hope you are taking good care of Mom, and doing your chores! I know she is depending on you to help her while I am away. You asked me what is was like on an army base. Well, you know how mom sings while she works? Well, I've got this sargeant with the biggest lungs. He's always singing some tune or other right in my ear. And you know how I wanted to lose weight and get more exercise--well the food here is perfect for squelching ones appetite, and I've gotten so much exercise I've lost 10 pounds! The best part is the great alarm clock we have here. I know you would like him--in fact I wish I could send him to you!
