Dear Elsie,
Well, my little kitten. It’s time for an update. For starters, the other day I had such bad gas cramps, I thought I must be in labor. The pain was take-my-breath-away bad. Fortunately, it wasn’t a real emergency because it took the midwife four days to call us back. She left a message on my phone saying she had just gotten into the office and received the fax! THE PHONE SERVICE SENT HER A FAX!
How efficient.
Fortunately for us, Daddy is very competent. And if worse comes to worse, he’ll be the midwife!
Did you know that I miss you and I haven’t even met you? How can that be? A little morning puzzle. I’ve taken to conversing with Sassy, though she doesn’t have much to say back…currently she is lying on the change table in one of your onesies.
On a sad note, Daddy called the ants back. He made espresso brownies and left the garbage bag with empty agave and honey bottles within their keen scent. Wimper, wimper. Alas. Big sigh.
But I’m learning to be resilient. In the past, I would have wept for longer about their return. But I was right back on my feet with a yellow sponge. I’ve been reading Deepak Chopra, and trying to absorb his lessons. I can choose…to live in harmony with the ants. They are just ants—as Grandma reminds us. I still pray that Jesus would have his way with the ant colony on which our apartment rests…and by having his way I mean TOTAL DESTRUCTION.
Oh, and I just had the best grapefruit of my life. It tasted like candy. It was so good I had to share.
That’s all Elsie Pelsie.
See you very soon. Right?
Love love, Mama

Elsie Pelsie. Funny how the glint of our love and affection gain our own unique and very loving nicknames.
Just ask my lovely girls Starchild, Amber Pamber or Shawanawana if they resent their assigned cuteness?

Love the picture of Sassy – great shot! And love the paragraph about the ants…such small little creatures who wield such great power!
love Nat
do you have bleach? It could work I would have told you sooner- for the ants, I mean, but i forgot. But it worked for me. Once- well, once meaning a period where we had ants coming out of our sink or something in the vermin shack on Lansdowne. It didn’t work for the rat, but it seemed to stop the ants. I just put bleach our where they were coming in and sort of left it there- not in great puddles, you know, like evaporated.
You could try it…Don’t let Elsie lick it, or you, either.
