My dear Fawn,

How are you? Forgive me; I need to brag. I won a bowling tournament last night! First time ever winning.

How is the store?

I should also let you know that your father has decided to give most of his savings to the church upon his death. I was helping him write up his will a couple of nights ago during a rare, lucid evening. I am not a fan of this, but it is his money and his decision.

Please, for all that is good, reach out to Florence. You are the older sister.

Love you,

Mother

Re: Check-in

Dear Mother,

Thanks for the email, and congratulations on the win the other night. I’m sure if Father were lucid, he would be very proud.

Things at the store are interesting. Life is interesting. I went twenty years in this neighborhood without dealing with a single copycat. I truly believe I was the first store those twenty years ago to make cats an intregral part of a bookstore. And a draw to customers. And I mean all over America not just my block of Philadelphia. I think I was a pioneer! And here I am facing a copycat that the papers are calling a pioneer??? That was me! Just because he’s young nad has a beard like a pritae? Does he really think he is special? Jjjjjjjjjjjjjjhisuye89sf//o

That was Butterscotch saying hello!! He almost tipped over my wine glass too—he does that sometimes. I think he must miss you, ha ha!

Father isn’t really giving all his money to the church, is he? They are doing so well. They have a pool for Christ’s sake. Why is it that teh rich get all the money all the time? Why is that? How can a man that was so money-oriented and aware of his own lack of funds give money to an organization that doesn’t really need it?? When there are bookstore owners that might need to sell their own furniture to pay their employees? When bankruptcy looms only to be scared away by the rare good day?

I am having an event in Febuayray that will turn everything around! I am getting rather sleepy. So I better get to bed before I fall asleep here at the computer again!

Re: Check-in

Dear Mother,

I apologize not only for my horrendous spelling, but also for writing to you intoxicated last night. I really shouldn’t have done that. Things are much better than Drunk Fawn likes to claim they are. The man down the block is harmless and won’t last. I have a feeling about it. Being in the business for so long, you get a sense of who will last and who is just a passing fad.

I will tell you more about the event in February when I get a chance, but for now just know that it will be very exciting.
