Dear Kelly,<\/p>\n

\"kmc-jc-savannah.jpg\"It seems like you have been gone a really long time, and I miss you. I feel like you have gone away to college.<\/p>\n

I have included a picture of me and Mom just in case you are starting to forget what we look like. I shaved my beard, though, as you may well remember.<\/p>\n

The dogs did not sleep in your bed last night, in case you are wondering about that.<\/p>\n

I only get two kisses at night now. One from Mom and one from Nicole. No kisses and hugs from you or Mary Claire. Isn’t that sad? I guess I could let Charlie and Ginger lick my face, but that would be a poor substitute.<\/p>\n

It rained for a little while today while I was at work. I was hoping that it was not raining on you while you were out hiking or in a canoe or something. I do know know if you brought a rain coat or a water proof hat.<\/p>\n

Are you checking for ticks? The best way is to lightly scratch all over your scalp, kind of like when you shampoo your hair. If you feel a bump, tell somebody in charge, and they will get the tick off of your head. Grandaddy removed a tick from my head when I was a little boy. He wanted to use a hot cigar to burn the tick off, but Gramalie said that would be dangerous. So she made him use a hot needle, instead. I had to sit very still, and it did not hurt at all.<\/p>\n

I hope you are having a lot of fun at camp. Do you think when you are older (16 or 17) you would want to be a camp counselor? Would that be a fun job? Do you think you could help a little girl get a tick off of her? If so, you might be a good camp counselor.<\/p>\n

Have a great day!<\/p>\n

Love,<\/p>\n

Dad<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
