Sorry that is has been a long time since Myrtle & I have posted any stories.
We have had a very busy Spring & Summer.
As I told you before Myrtle & I have been taking care of Speedy's Kids.
Its a big job, there are 12 of them.
Myrtle loves changing there diapers and helping them finish there Babyfood ( of course )
And Myrtle went to camp for 2 weeks in the latter part of May.
Camp Possumella,
Myrtle sent many letters home telling of her adventures at Camp.
I did get a few letters myself from the Camp counselor, about Myrtles behavoir on there many Fishing trips.
Seems Myrtle was always the first one in the Boat, to go fishing, The reason for this was She loved to bait the hooks for the other Kids.
Come to find out when they werent looking Myrtle was sneaking the worms off the hooks and eating them. ( no wonder She looked like a fat pig when She came home)
The counselor finally fiqured this out after they were not catching many fish & they were having to keep buying a lot of worms.
So she was suspended from going fishing for the duration of camp.
But She found a new hobby at camp to do. Helping to harvest oysters in the shallow waters of Posumella Bay.
I can just see Her in Her long rubber Boots & her Oyster cracking knife, just grinning and sampling the Oysters, before She put them in the baskets.
She's no fool, She knows what activities to volunteer for, especially if they involve food.
I also found out that BBBJH was also at Camp Posumella, That I must tell you was quite disturbing to me, since I know BBBJH has a serious crush on Myrtle.
One of the other letters from the Counselor, was about catching Myrtle & BBBJH behind the Boat Shed Kissing.
I can just see my little Baby, puckering up her lips & exposing Her famous 1000 teeth grin to BBBJH, and letting Him kiss her. I hope he did not faint once he smelled her bad breath.
I was hoping this would prevent any boys from Kissing Her, But I was certainly wrong about that. The Counselor said BBBJH always kept a clothespin in his front pocket. Now I know why, To put on His nose while he was kissing Myrtle.
Anyway, everthing is back to normal now at home. Myrtle is enjoying the rest of her Summer Vacation, and thank God BBBJH is far away from Her.
As far as Speedys kids go, they are almost ready to be released up on Cold Mountain so they can go about there Possum ways and live the Wild life as God intended.
I will have to say I will be glad, because they & Myrtle are about to eat us out of House & Home.
Until next time
Myrtle's Father
P.S.
I'm still working on a story about Myrtle's Family Tree, it will take sometime to finish, because Her family tree has many, many, many limbs. ( Speedy playboy ways certainly dont help )
