Darling Henry,

What a lovely surprise to receive your emails. You are such a good writer. I’m a lucky mom.

I’m glad Dad is taking good care of you. You can tell him I haven’t seen Elvis yet.

I’m sorry I haven’t written sooner. I’ve been so very busy since arriving here. I haven’t even left the hotel, if you can believe it. My time has been full of presentations and seminars. Last night there was a fancy dinner in one of the ballrooms. A hypnotist performed. He was wonderful. He made a whole table of people meow like cats. Every time they heard the word “Herbit” they meowed. It was very silly.

The people-watching here is fantastic! You’d love it! There are characters from all over the world.

When I get back I promise I will sign you up for something.

And yes, I knew about the shoes. I’m sorry Max made fun of them.

Big hugs to you and Sam and Dad.

Love,

Mom
