Letter from Winsome

Dear Luc
It has been such a joy for us to have been on holiday here with you and your mom this last week. 
You have been great company. You make us laugh, sometimes though Katie gets a bit overwhelmed. I love your good manners and your great ability to interact with "all" people. Just hope the snoring does not get worse and on our next trip I hope you will not still climb into our bed in the middle of the night. We so look forward to our next holiday with you. Lots of love. Katie and Winsome
