Judy acted as if she were disappointed when we said that, then she...laughed and said, “I’ll to the best I can, but I hope you realize how much fun you are taking out of the whole thing when I have to write it so that a civilian can understand it.” She laughed, but Jo and I didn’t.

We should have had more time together as mother and son,but looking on the bright side, it means we have more time to spend togetheras best girl friends." Mom?" Yes, Honey." I've been thinking about Ken, but I've also been thinking about Abby andBen." Then that makes two of us." What am I going to do about them?
