From Mary, Thank you!

Dear Helen,

I am so sorry for not contacting you!   We have been through a bit of an ordeal, so I haven't been home much.   Tom is now in a rehab facility to regain strength.  I'm not sure if I'll be home this Thursday, but I will try.  I really want to catch up on my lessons--I have a new laptop but I can't write characters on it yet!  Thank you for your patience!

Mary
