Dear Robyn,
I’m so glad you are having fun at camp. How is the food? Watch your carbs? Birthday cake? Well, ok…..it’s special! Maybe this year you will make me one of those cool bracelets…..I really, really, really want one.

Life at home is the same…..you aren’t missing a thing. …grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s; cleaning the house. (Really?) running endless errands; lunch with Nags in Birmingham, and lots of shopping at Somerset….especially Bendel’s. (Oops sorry. I wasn’t supposed to mention that).

I can’t wait for you to come home…..and I’m so proud of you…
Not supposed to say that either, but I think you will be ok with it this time around, because I really do miss you, and am so proud, too.
Love,
Mommy

Great advice for parents of young campers!!!!!!! I’m sure Devin doesn’t even bother reading any of my letters!! But , as Grama, I did always ask those questions-about counselors, food, which activities he was doing blah, blah blah!!!!!!!! When I was a kid at camp (55 yrs. ago!!!) my dad would write (type) a letter EVERY day & I couldn’t wait for “mail call”. What the hell could he possibly say each day ????????. A couple times a week, we HAD to write letters home in order to get into the mess hall for dinner. I wish I was still at camp !!!!!!!!!!! Your kids are getting a great life experience–even with you there!!!!! If you ever need an assistant–CALL ME!!!!!

In reply to tara pittman.

Oh, Tara. That’s a bummer. No bonfires or stick fires? I’m sure they don’t miss it because there is probably a ton of other stuff going on but…how do they do s’mores?? 🙂

So happy you came by. Thank you!!!

I know FOR A FACT that my daughter does not read ANY of my letters. When I asked her why she said that all of my letters say the same thing…blah blah..boring..blah blah…grocery store…blah blah…cleaned the house…sigh. Things really are boring at home!

In reply to Lea Hapner Grossman.

Lea Hapner Grossman!! I think I know who you are, and if I’m correct—I also know who your granddaughter, son and daughter in law are too!

I love that you read DS&D. That is the BEST thing ever!! Your comment was so great. I love that you are here. You just made my whole day.

…and your granddaughter is rocking it. She seems very much at home here. We love having her!!
