Saturday, June 1st
Dear JJ,
How’s life in Alabama? Are you having fun as a camp counselor?
I know writing letters might seem old-fashioned, but I wanted you to get some mail that would put a smile on your face. Are you smiling?
You used to tell me that I write like I talk. I think you might be right. I’ve had to proofread my writing five times. Writing letters to you in the most proper form should help me improve my writing overall.
Also, I got a job! There’s a cute little ice cream stationary ice cream truck down the street from my Aunt Didi’s neighborhood. This older gentleman named Mr. Sweeny owns it. It’s small, but people come for miles to get his ice cream and to visit the corner market he owns across the street. I got the job last Saturday. It pays minimum wage, but I’ll be working Wednesday–Saturday so I’m sure it’ll all add up. The truck is called Sweeny’s. Simple and easy to remember. Mr. Sweeny has lots of fun flavors like Blue Bananas (blueberry and bananas, tastes like a smoothie), Yellow Marshmallow (self-explanatory), and my new favorite, Strawberry Cookies n Cream. It’s the perfect mix of strawberry ice cream and cookies. Deliciousness!
If you were here, you’d probably like “Mud Road” because it’s like Rocky Road, your favorite.
I suppose I’ve kept you long enough. Write me back this time, okay?
Sincerely,
Clove
