Hi Mom:  well it has been 8 years since you let us.   Sure do miss you.  You would not know your old  place.  There is 5 houses on the 18 acreas.   The 29 acres is still farm landLife has changed so much.  It just is not the same and never will be.  There is a man in the White House who has destroyed our country.  We have lost a lot of our freedoms and it is getting even worst.  I am glad that I am as old as I am.  Just living day by day.   Our country will be a SOCIALIST  COUNTRY  COMPLETELY WITH IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS IF THE REPUBLICANS PARTH DOES NOT STOP THE PRESIDENT AND HIS FOLLOWERS.    Jim and I both have heart problems so this is why we take it a day at a time.  Ciara is getting to be a young lady and she is taller than me.  She is happy abot this.   She will probably be way over 6 feet tall.  She is a good girl , has good manners, does things  to help but does not have to be asked to do help.  We love her to the moon and back.  Hope you and dad are doing ok.  Sure do miss you both.  Not a day goes be that i do not think about you.  Love you mom.
