     The Doucets in Alaska, Jenna and her new husband, Michael, write their little Tennessee friend a letter after Ronee' has written to them.
Tuesday, 10/5/04, 9:21 a.m., Alaska Time~

Dear Ronee':

Hey, there, sweetheart! How are you feeling today? We both hope you are feeling much better, now that you are about over your flare! We were sorry to hear you were sick all last week; but I am sure your nursie mama took very good care of you!

What a delightful letter we got from you over the weekend; you sure are a little talker! LOL And that picture...what a beautiful little girl! She must be something pretty special, judging from your description of her talent and personality! That is nice that little Tiffany Evans signed an autograph for you and posed for a picture with you; you sure are hobnobbing with those stars, aren't you?? LOL (I am a tad jealous of you; I never get to meet all those famous people like you have! Can I join your band?? LOL Or become one of your backup singers, perhaps?? LOL)

As you can see, this is Michael writing. Jenna wouldn't be so straightforward or goofy; she is always telling me that I am a regular cornball! LOL But that's me; I have always been a little bit crazy. Maybe it's because I have 12 brothers and sisters; I don't know, but we sure did a good enough job in driving our Mama crazy! It's a wonder she didn't kick the bucket with our antics...she is still kickin', as you very well know! LOL

I am fine, and so is Jenna. I am sitting here in our study, and Jenna has her nose in a book. She is reading a thick book; think it must be "War and Peace" or something. She must be enjoying it; she hasn't lifted her head up yet since she started reading the durn thing! LOL Me, I am not a reader; I just can't get into those long-haired books! I am more of a outdoorsy type of guy; as long as it has to do with being in nature's splendor, I am there, my friend! LOL Our dog, "Aurora", is lying at Jenna's feet, by her chair, sleeping, and she is snoring. It is too cute! Too bad Jenna can't hear her snoring; but boy, I sure can! LOL Hmmm..sounds almost like your daddy when he snored when y'all were up here visiting! LOL

Has it stopped raining yet? Are you still achy (or is that a dumb question!)? I hope not; that must be so hard to have chronic pain like that and having to have therapy to unstiffen stiff muscles and joints or taking nasty-tasting medicines. ICK! I am glad I am healthy; but I am glad that you are feeling better! At least you can get around, if not on your crutches, then by your wheelchair! (Where there's a "wheel", there's a way! Joke! Get it? Sorry, I know it's bad, but I couldn't help myself! Anything to try to get you to smile or laugh! LOL) You are a very determined little girl, and your spirit is incredible! Sure, you may hurt a lot of the time, but you always have a smile on your face, and you are the happiest little kid I know! I wish I had your spunk; you can teach me a thing or two about life just by my watching you or being around you!

How are you doing in school, now that you are back? Has your teacher (or your classmates) missed you during your absence? I bet you make life interesting in school; you seem like a very smart cookie! (Can I borrow some of your brain cells when I do my taxes or pay off the bills and figure out the math?) I am glad that it doesn't take you long to catch up when you are sick; but then, you are Louie's daughter, and you are smart just like her!

I will be sending you some pics of the auroras that I took last night: green, aqua, purple, pink, even blue; really spectacular auroras to be seen last night here. I know you like the auroras, so be expecting some pics from us, okay? In the meantime, have you had your new school pictures taken yet? If so, I want one, and so does Jenna. That way, we can throw darts at it! NO, NOT really; you are too pretty to have darts thrown at you! Maybe we can use your picture to scare the rats in our attic...no, we are just joshing with you! Sorry if we hurt your feelings, but you know me, Mr. Comedy Central himself! You know I am just pulling your leg! I would never say anything unkind about you; you are too special to be treated like that! So please ignore the comments in this part of the letter; I am only trying to make you laugh! Your laughter still makes me smile everytime I think of when you were here; your laughter made ME happy and want to laugh right along with you!

Well, Ronee', I will let you go; Jenna needs to use the potty, so I have to help her to the facilities. I will write to you again soon; and Jenna will too. Take care of yourself, and know that we love and miss you BUNCHES! Give Johnny and your mama and daddy (((HUGS))) and XXX's from us, okay? Love you, MUNCHKIN!

~As always, your pals in Alaska, Michael (and Jenna). :-)
