Thinking About Home

[alt_ron]

Hiya, Mum.

I know I could send an owl, but I dunno, I just felt like writing tonight, and I like the idea you might see it right away.

I'm keeping busy and working hard at my assignments. We had a YPL activity where we went and helped fix things at a school, and our next thing is a day-long CCF exercise that ought to be challenging. I guess it's good we have these activities that keep us from spending all our time sitting with our noses in our books because that would be dull, wouldn't it?

I think I may go to bed early tonight because I've stayed up late a lot this week.

Hope you are well. I miss you.

Your favourite son,
Ronald

How lovely to hear from you, dear. I'm so glad that you're participating in YPL and CCF; I know how much you've enjoyed them.

I miss you, too. It seems that I'm missing all of you even more than usual this winter. The Burrow is so very quiet without your father and I haven't been keeping as busy as I usually do, because I don't have as many tasks with the barter network as I've had in the past. It makes time hang rather heavy on my hands, I'm afraid. I'm starting to plan the spring garden, ordering seeds from owl catalogs and so forth...I'm sure I'll feel a bit more like myself when the planting is in full swing.

I've been toying with the idea of getting a job. Perhaps it might do me good to try something new.

You're a dear to write to your old Mum. Oh, and congratulations for landing your role in the revue! How very exciting! When will the performance be?

Love,
Mum
