Dear Mom,

Today Ron called the baby, “Little M,” but I heard “Little Lamb.” Apparently you can take the Yankee out of the north, but eventually he’ll sound like a southerner.

Happy anniversary today to you and Dad. 48 years! That’s amazing, and inspirational. If you recycled past years’ cards to each other, that’s better than our effort to each other this year. Keep it up!

Love,

Ruth

Dear Mom,

We’re getting the band back together! No, wait, that’s not right. We’re getting the blog back together! Yeah, that’s it. I’ve been meaning to do this for the last few years, and there’s nothing like a new song written about an old blog to get me back on track. Plus, with the upcoming move back to The Slow Lane, and the addition of a new family member, it seems like the perfect time. Things might be slow, or short-n-sweet until I get settled at the new place, but here it is: the new and improved Dear Mom, Love Ruth.

Love, Ruth
