* dear Frances …
My dearest most favorite mother in law. I just wanted to send you a note to say … it’s a good thing I got here when I did! Your son is miserable, they are treating him terribly and he is begging me to please let him go home. He’s pretty dadgum pitiful.

bless him …
I am so glad I came to rescue him from this terribly harsh life …
that little snicker of a smile is just a cover so he doesn’t hurt Thad & Brad’s feelings. He is really very homesick.
are you convinced yet? On second thought, you may need to come out here & help me drag him home!
me.


Dear Melinda,
Glad you arrived in time to save my son from those (not so) normal family members you love. I am sure all is well now that you are on the scene. From the looks of things, Brad and Thad had him under control. I only hope the horses survive his nurturing. Have a great weekend.
Love,
Your favorite mother-in-law aka Frances
we love you too … and at least one of us is missing you! He says it’s him, not me.
