Hey guys. Nothing too much is going on right now. Anna and I haven't started our summery dresses yet-oops. We really need to get on that.

Lately I've been really missing my mama. She said she's going to try to move to Star Valley this year. I really hope it's soon. I bet she'd be good friends with both Ms. Merriman and Mrs. Halliwell. All around town there's talk that Ms. Merriman wants to sell the general store but has no takers. I bet mama could run it! I'd help her, too, when I'm not in school. Jess and I already have a small shop called Apple Blossom Finery. How hard could the general store be? And it would give mama a job. She loves doing work and being helpful. Felicity said the reason her aunt wants to sell the general store is because they want to open a cafe. Felicity says it'll be called Raspberry Flummery Cafe. I like that name. I'm sure it'll only be open for dinners because Ms. Merriman is my-the 4th grade-teacher and she also runs a small salon part-time. She does a lot but she has Felicity, Megan and Josefina's help. We also don't have school five days a week, most of them time, so that allows her to run the store and salon more.

Anyway, I think it would be awesome if mama moved her for my birthday. I know that's wishful thinking but it sure would be a wonderful surprise! Peter misses her, too, and so does Anna.
