Dear Darby,

Do you remember when we were little

and all the trouble we got in
at the barn??
like the time we took Adams whip
and put it in the pile of poop?
His mom was very mad...
Adam and his mom did not talk to me for awhile
but they still loved you!
how bout that time
where we went into the woods and we got lost...
i forgot to tell you something
before we went into the woods..
we weren't supposed to go in the woods!
Oh then there was that time where i chased you around
when we were like 6
and we ran where the horses were and we got in big trouble
for running around the horses
i want to remind you that
I WAS THE ONLY PERSON THE GOT IN TROUBLE!
But hey
if it weren't for cowgirls and cowboys
we wouldn't of had so much fun!

Intimate Conversation

Dear Angie,

Do You Remember
when we used to have those little wooden horse?
Or how we would put pillows on the side of my bed
and pretend the pillows were saddles?
We would always
"ride"
together either on our wooden horse
or just on the side of my bed...
I remember our favorite thing to do
was pretend we were jumping over stuff
even though we were just hoping
up and down on the trampoline.
How about the times were we would pretend
we were cowgirls and our horse were running away
so we had to leap onto the side of my bed with the pillow like it was a saddle.
I say we were always cowgirls
even though we only rode
pillows and wooden horses!
