Dear Mom,

Thank you for my cheerleading costume! It's a wee bit tight but it's spandex so it will stretch out. I look so cute! I love the red tassel trim!

The talk here continues to be about the Birding Expedition. There are only a few Sisters going. They are very nice but they take some getting used to. They've been walking around in hiking boots and getting up before dawn, practicing bird calls. They are specifically looking for the Southwest Red-Feathered Purple Beak. It's said to be a really rare bird. No, I don't know what they will do if they see it and I'm not planning to ask.

Love to you,
Panther
