Dratted Letter

Myrna wrote: Next year, Kirsten, I am shipping the newsletter to you before I print. I printed the first 50 after Dad read it and said it was clean. It was missing a period. I fixed that and printed another 50. I was reading along and I have "author" twice in the same sentence. It is enough to drive me to the brink. I fixed that for the next printing. I don't see my errors. I need a good editor. Dad doesn't see my errors either, until they are in print, then he notices. UGH! Oh well, I suppose it is alright to look like an idiot. If the shoe fits. . . I've spent my life learning English and when I die, we will speak Adamic. (Apparently, I have not learned to be a proofreader.)

Honey for Christmas

David and Kate Bird Concerning a Gift to Alyce Childs Myrna wrote: I am not certain if another case of honey will be a welcome gift for Alyce or not. Tell her that it does have monetary value and can be sold if she has too much. :) Hehehe. Well, it does have monetary value but I don't suppose she is into ebay, right? At any rate, we just purchase the honey, through Leonard's labor at harvest time, so it is fine. I think it is a good gift, but I am not certain. Let me know.
Thanks!

Thanks for answering. A case should be heading home today with the Leamasters. I had to stay home from the temple so only LHT, the Strong and Healthy, was able to go. I have a REALLY awful cold. Poor me. :(
