We don&#8217;t live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 miles of your home, so we moved. I won&#8217;t be a ble to send you the a ddress because the last Arkansas family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so they wouldn&#8217;t have to change their address.<\/p>\n<p>This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine although I&#8217;m not sure about it. I put a load of clothes in and pulled the chain. We haven&#8217;t seen them since.<\/p>\n<p>The weather isn&#8217;t bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first time for three days and the second time for four days.<\/p>\n<p>About that coat you wanted me to send; your Uncle Billy Bob said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.<\/p>\n<p>Bubba locked his keys in the truck yesterday. We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your father out.<\/p>\n<p>Your sister had a baby this morning, she said it looks just like you, but I haven&#8217;t found out what it is yet so I don&#8217;t know if you are an aunt daddy or an uncle daddy.<\/p>\n<p>Uncle Bobby Ray fell into a whiskey vat last week. Some men tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated, he burned for three days.<\/p>\n<p>Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck. Butch was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in the back. They drowned because they couldn&#8217;t get the tailgate down!<\/p>\n<p>There isn&#8217;t much more news at this time. Nothing much out of the normal has happened.<\/p>\n<p>Your Favorite Aunt, Mom<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Ernie.
