Hello Pieapple, Good Morning to you! How our you doing today? Thank you so very much for your kind, wonderful email message that I just received. Later on I will attend a parade in my home community. The last parade I attended we did not have a large turnout of people because of the hot, warm weather. I am hoping for more of a turnout. We have been having very warm, hot weather throughout this week. I think it is going to get warmer by the end of this working week. I am very happy that you and your friend went shopping. I know that you and your friend had a great time together. We will learn more English together. The more you practice English the better you will become. Yes, I hope that this pen pal friendship will lasts for a long time. I am so very lucky to have a great friend like you. I hope we can chat sometime later today or tomorrow. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you my friend! Take Care! Blake Steen.
