Love, Rosie (268 page)

Although
I
do
have
one
favor
to
ask,
Ruby
and
I
would
love
to
go
over
to

you
for
a
week
sometime
in
February
if
you
could
fit
us
into
your
schedule.

Ruby
said
she
wants
to
go
to
a
foam
party
and
win
a
wet
T-shirt
competi-

tion
before
she’s
fifty!

Let
me
know
when
a
good
week
is
for
you.

Mum

I’ve
a
favor
to
ask.
Do
you
think
you
might
be
able
to
take
Mum
for

another
week
in
February?
I’m
sorry
I
know
you’re
really
busy
too
but

love,

Beanie
has
finally
given
me
a
week
off
and
I
really
wanted
to
get
over
to

Katie
to
check
out
how
she’s
living
these
days.
I
want
to
meet
her
friends
and

see
where
she’s
working;
you
know,
annoying
things
that
mothers
do.

If
you
can’t
then
I
understand.
Perhaps
I
could
twist
Kevin’s
arm
into

caring
about
someone
else
for
a
change.

Give
my
love
to
the
family.

Re:
Mum

Of
course
I’ll
take
Mum.
In
fact
I’ll
go
one
better
and
take
the
family

over
to
Connemara
for
the
week.
Pierre
dragged
me
to
his
mother
and

father’s
for
Christmas
dinner
so
I
think
I’m
entitled
to
have
my
turn!

You
deserve
a
break
Rosie.
I’m
so
sorry
you’re
stuck
over
there
doing

everything.
Sometimes
I
feel
like
going
over
there
and
giving
Kev
a
good

kick.
I’m
going
to
have
a
good
talk
with
him
when
I
go
over
and
perhaps
he

may
even
want
to
see
his
niece
and
nephew
for
a
change.

Have
fun
with
Katie.
I
can’t
believe
how
grown
up
she
is
now.
When
she

stayed
with
us
a
few
months
back
I
felt
like
I
was
talking
to
you.

Enjoy
the
week
with
Ruby,
I
need
to
spend
some
quality
time
with
Mum

anyway.

Surprise
40th

I
don’t
no
where
you
are
in
the
world
right
now
but
I
hope
you’re
still

checking
your
e-mails!
Seeing
as
your
mum
is
going
to
be
40
next
month
and

you
are
going
to
be
21,
I
thought
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
have
a
double

birthday
party.
But
I
was
hoping
that
we
could
fly
you
home
and
surprise

your
mum
with
a
party?

You
can
invite
all
your
friends
and
we
can
organize
all
of
Rosie’s

friends
too.
Perhaps
we
can
bring
Ruby
in
on
this
too
for
help?
Let
me
