#postcardletters

Has it already been a month? The days are lovely here, but I do miss those rolling fields and azure skies. Percy is a fine gentleman, but he does not understand the allure of the country trails. Every night, I yearn for our twinkling stars. Here, there is too much light for the stars to show. The lights are fascinating, yes, but they cannot guide us home like the stars do.

I await your news from the farm. Has Sweet Pea given birth yet? Baby lambs are just the most adorable thing, and I wish I could be there to witness the birth. Is everyone well? And do you still fancy that city girl (Darla, was it?), the Andersons’ daughter? Please write back soon. I miss you greatly.

Your favorite sister,

Our trek up the mountain has not gone as smoothly as we had hoped. The sky was mighty clear, yet it swiftly gloomed as we ascended to the first camp. Now we have turned back to Helga’s inn, and I am sipping on some caramel ale as I write this letter to you. I hope your new start at life is going well. How is my little granddaughter? Tell her Nana misses her greatly, and that she thinks of those chubby little cheeks every day and every night. Now I must retire to bed, for we are trying again tomorrow. Please be good, my dear. Don’t lose sight of this opportunity to make amends with the Holy Spirit. Take care, my sweet girl.

Farewell,
