Dear Joseph and Lucia,

Today is the end of my nice vacation.  I have to head north today back to Oklahoma.  I’m moving into a new room.  It’s a bit scary.  I’ve only met the home-owner once.  I’ll have to purchase a bed and dresser, so I’ll be sleeping on a couch and living out of a suitcase until I find a good solution.

My biggest concern is leaving home. Michèle has something going on with her wrist and back.  I hate leaving her here alone.

I’m leaving you with a picture from Brussels.  I’m still in awe of all the wonderful things I got to see this last summer.

So, when you finally get in touch, I’ll see about getting us all over there so you can explore Europe like I did when I was a kid.  Until then, I’ll be waiting to hear from you.

Love,
Dad
