Reading

Dear mother. I’m writing from our hotel at Sludge Beach. Ralph and I are on vacation with the children a for a few days. We’re happy to be here but to tell the truth, we’re having a few problems. The weather isn’t very good. In fact, it’s cold and cloudy. Right now, I’m looking out the window and it’s raining cats and dogs. The children aren’t very happy. In fact, they’re bored and they’re having a terrible time. Right now they’re sitting on the bed, playing tic tac toe and watching TV.

The restaurants here are expensive and the food isn’t very good. In fact, Ralph is at a clinic,he’s having problem with his stomach.

All the other hotels here are beautiful and new. Our hotel is ugly, and it’s very very old. In fact, right now a repairperson is fixing the bathroom sink. So mother, we’re having a few problems at Sludge Beach, but we’re happy to be on vacation and we’re happy to be together.
