Hi You guys!

Hope your okay. We're all fine. Gosh, the first day of autumn. You should have seen the weather yesterday. In the morning, all of the mountains could not be seen. You'd think it was fog but it wasn't. It was all smoke. The smoke camouflaged the mountains because there were at least 5 fires from St. Barbara to San Fernando. In the afternoon, the smoke gradually disappeared. In the evening, the wind started to blow, so all of the dust came in. This morning, the wind was blowing when I got up. I even had a dream that the weather was real windy. Now the wind has gone down the sun is shining brightly and I have even eaten an ice cream.

Well, it's after supper & I've really enjoyed the fish because its not the same old stuff but salmon. This afternoon Mom & I were chopping daikon & boy, you should have seen the flys come. Boy, all horseflys, too. Man, I'll never cut the stinky daikon again. Well, I am hoping to get a card or a letter from you tomorrow. I better get one, or else. Well, so long until next time.

Just,

Mas
