An Email from Mama Hale

"Hi Kids,

So last night was Ilana's National Honor Society-very nice and we were oh so proud.

Then today we received in the mail a letter stating that Silmarillion made Dean's List!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with a semester QPA between 3.4 and 3.59.

I don't often give you kids praise, and I am sorry for that, but I want you all to know that I am very, very proud of all your individual achievements, of which there are many.

Having said that, be sure that this doesn't go to your individual heads!

Most of all, I love you all muchly, and I miss you too.

Mom"

My grandmother started the "muchly" expression. I guess I'll start using it in approximately 20 years.
