Everybody misses you.
The twins, Mortimier & Murphy, do nothing but sit around & play games all day.
Your cousin Monty, does nothing but throw kisses all day.
& Moose–I’m not sure what he has been into, but just look at his eyes. I’m not sure anyone is even ”home” there anymore.
I won’t even mention the peacocks pooping in the lawn chairs. Remember how they always liked sitting on top of Birdies trucks. Well, Roulf, I swear he is going to knock his own windshield out when he tries to throw that big broom at them and the way he talks to them - it makes you just want to cover your ears!!
You need to stop your “gallivanting around the country” & come home now. Please.
Your poor grieving mamma needs you.
Just got this e-mail from Roulf. He asked me to pass this along to his Mum and all his friends so that they will know he’s OK.
He didn’t say where he was at but it looks like a nice quiet place to be. He said he’s having a great time.
Roulf, I want to be where you are. Cute waitress! 
I thought we were cousins. Cousins go everywhere together remember.
Roulf said you’ll have to look close to find him in this picture. It looks to me like Roulf is having more fun than me right now.
Roulf, wherever you are please keep sending pictures so we know you’re OK. Looks to me like you having a really fun time.
OK people, this isn’t funny at all! It’s one thing to kidnap me, but leave my cousin Roulf alone. This is the first year his Mum let him go to the lake and what happens? Someone has to kidnap him.
I’d like to know why it is that whenever someone see’s a gnome, they think they have to kidnap us. Roulf, if you are reading this, wherever you may be, don’t worry. I will rescue you.
Look closely at this picture. If you’ve seen him, please let me know as soon as possible. I don’t have a lot of money because I only get a small weekly allowance, but somehow I’ll find enough money to pay you if that that is the only way his Mum can get him back.
You may be laughing now, but you won’t be laughing when I find out who took him! Don’t mess with my friends.
We got back on Saturday from our annual family get together at the lake. What a blast we had! I just love spending time with all my cousins and I think they really like me because we played together a lot.
Of course as usually happens every time we get together, the first thing someone has to do is kidnap me. I don’t know what’s so funny about that but I just secretly smile and let them have their way with me. This year they had to sneak into Mum and Pop’s cabin, kidnap me and duck tape me to a tree. (Where is the humor in that?) Then they take a picture and demand a ransom which Mum and Pop ignore. To make them feel good, I beg and plead for freedom and they start to feel bad and finally let me go. Same old thing every year. You’d think it would get old but NOOOOOO!!! Once we get that behind us we can finally get down to having fun.
My cousin Roulf’s Mum let him come to the lake this year. If was fun to have someone my size to play with especially in the sand. Roulf weighs a lot so he can’t swim without a life jacket on so mostly we played on the beach. Roulf and I played a lot with Maverick. We let him cover us up with sand. Sometimes he’d try to cover up our heads with sand but when I told him we couldn’t breathe, he stopped doing that.
In the water they had this really big water slide and everyone climbed up it and slid down it. I wanted to go down to but Mum said I better not because I’m little and it was really big. My Mum went down the slide. She was scared the first time but after that she wasn’t scared any more.
This picture is of my Uncle Lloyd. He’s getting old like Mum but still went down it and didn’t even hurt himself. Just look at that landing. I laughed so hard when he did that.
