Dear Mom,
As you can see, the boredom has even made me forget the date. But it doesn't matter. I'm always happy to hear from you. And what a great idea to have the children write stories about us! We look forward to reading them all. Perhaps, as you say, it will help the men battle boredom. For really, especially with all the rain showers we've had lately, it's getting more and more difficult to keep the guys from fighting. They just need to do something, so I hope Mrs Simmons' story writing contest will help calm down things a bit here.
Please give her my regards - I remember she was always organizing things. Nice to see she hasn't lost her touch!
Love,
Rob
