Subject: Our recent visit to Smyrna, DE

Dear Barbara and Dave,

We want to thank you for your hospitality.  We had a great time with you guys, as always.  We drove straight home after leaving you and checked on my father.  He bounced back after his spell of heat exhaustion/dehydration.  He recognized us when we visited him.  He smiled and gave us hugs and talked with my sister, Janice after we got her on the phone.  He then asked Sandy if he could wear her blouse.

I am so happy that I drove the car to Maine and visited with family and friends along the way.
You should be proud of the beautiful home that you built in a beautiful part of the country.  I  love the way that you planted the evergreen trees in a perfect line to outline the boundary of the property 20 years ago.  Your place shows all the hard work that you put in to make it so perfect.  My father's family owned a 200 acre farm about 100 miles north of New York City.  It was my Dad's plan to raise us on that farm.  He was actually remodeling a house on the property for us to live when he was given an opportunity in business that he could not pass up.  I hope that you sell it for the price you ask but if you don't I would not mind visiting again.  Neither would Bailey.  She had a blast.  She has had no aftereffects from her forays into your fields.  

I biked out to the end of Captiva this morning.  It took me two hours of peddling to get there and it was 11 o'clock.  I made it back to the house by 1:30, changed into my tennis clothes, ate a banana and drove to The Landings to play with the guys.  I had no legs.  Yesterday the kids were using the ball machine at tennis camp which forced Mike and I to play singles.  It was very hot.  Mike and I volunteered to help Rick clean courts for the Busch/Florida open.

Sandy and Janice want to go on a dogsled excursion when we cruise to Alaska next month.
I want to go salmon fishing, make a killing and ship it back home like we did 10 years ago.  
I cooked some wild Sockeye Salmon using a recipe that Carol Downing gave me last week.  I steamed the vegetables and then seasoned and cut up the salmon and baked it all together.  I'll make it for you when you get back to Fort Myers.

Enjoy the summer and let me know how you make out with the arrhythmia, the fleconide and the hospital parking lot.  Tell your tennis buds that I enjoyed playing with them only next time we won't spot them the first five games.

Stuart
