Family
Dear Ruth the Van, Austin, Janelle, and Wesley came to visit me a few weeks ago. I was so excited to see them, they gave me lots of pets. I’ve missed seeing family. Mom took them all over Talkeetna, and showed them all the awesome things there are to do here. The weather was too…

Rainbows and milestones
Dear Ruth the Van, It’s been a week since we’ve seen the sun….lots of cold rain and cloudy skies, and wet muddy walks. One cool thing about rain is that everything is really green outside (moms allergies are feeling that), and dad got to see a rainbow while flying this week. Pretty cool!! With the…

Covid, bath day, and breakup season
Dear Ruth the Van, Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve written, but I’ve been taking care of mom and dad. They both got Covid, so we were all stuck in the house together for a while….I’m glad I was here to nurse them back to health. They said they are feeling better than ever.…
