Dear Jane,

I was delighted to read you’reyour letter last week. ItsIt's always a pleasure to recievereceive the latest news, and to herehear that you and your family had a great summer.

We spent last week at the beach, and had so much fun on the sand and in the water exploring the coast. weWe weren’t prepared for the rains that came at the end of the vacation. The best parts of the trip waswere the opportunities to sightsee and relax.

My kids are back in school totoo. I find their are less things to worry about now that the kids are at school all day. There isare plenty of fun things to do in the summer, but, by August, I’veI’m running out of ideas. I’ve exceptedaccepted the fact that we’ll have to think up brand-new activities next summer; I'm hoping to round up some creative ideas soon.

Thanks again for your letter!

Sincerely,
Karen
