Say Cheese: Capturing the Essence of the Moment Cheese

A letter/e-mail Dear mom, How are all of you doing back home? Here I am doing great and having fun. How is the weather there? Here we had lots of snow and the temperature is at –40s. I have been busy with work and classes but I may be very busy for the next two weeks so I won’t be working much. My midterms start next week so I will not have a chance to call you. I met aunt Kylee yesterday and we went for dinner together. We both missed the roast pork that you often made during the get together. I will be coming home after two weeks to visit you all since I miss you like crazy. I guess this is it for today. Awaiting your reply. Your daughter. Allison.
