For My Friends in Oregon
Dear Ms. Wellspring and Ms. J:
I remember when I first came under the spell of the enigmatic Opal Whiteley, having read her diary in the book by Benjamin Hoff. I have been reading books about Opal ever since. Her story is magically mysterious and fascinating.
Opal lived in Cottage Grove, and she must have been one of Oregon's most famous native daughters during her young adulthood (if she really was not the long lost daughter of the French royal family).
Hope you both are enjoying your family time up north, and just thought you'd enjoy a little bit of Oregonian history, too, if you didn't already know about Miss Whiteley.
;-)

As soon as I get over this blasted cold, we'll definitely dance up a storm. Welcome home!

Oh, and you can borrow my Opal Whitely books, if you want.
Hi tbaby! I hadn't heard of ms. whitely, either! thanks for thinking of us, and i'm excited to add this to my growing list of things that qualify as my one resolution for 08: learn more! hope we see you soon, dahling.
Hi J,
Read Benjamin Hoff's book first. I promise you'll love it. Of course I'll see you soon. We're practically neighbors.
Happy new year, sweetie.
