Dear Uncle Jim (A.)

Dear Uncle Jim (A.),
How are you? I bet you're winding up for the semester. Bet you're excited. Do you get the summer off or do you keep teaching throughout the whole year? I imagine you're coming up to retirement soon though. Won't that be nice? Perhaps you've already retired and no ones told me.
I have to say you're one of the people I looked up to when it came to work and schooling. I always thought what you did was so neat as a kid and when we got to see the jets and planes with Danny and Kristen it really made my day. I still remember looking through them. It was the first time I'd been on a plane before actually. It was great, even if we didn't go flying or anything and it was just in the hanger. There's something about it that really made an impact. Then again I did want to be a pilot until I was 18. Then phonetics snatched me from that dream.
How's Calgary treating you? I hope it's warmer than here. We just got 2 feet of snow. Wish I could say April fools, but alas it's not a joke. Thankfully my friend and I are house sitting and our neighbour has a tractor so he plows us out for the most part. Good thing too or Tobi and I would have a ton of shoveling to do and I'm not so sure my body would handle that. Do you have plans for the summer (that is if it ever gets here)?
Well I must be off, but I thought I'd write to you today. Miss you guys.
Love you.
Sincerely,
Yvette
