Dear David--
I wanted
to invite you to a barbecue at
my parents’ ranch this Sunday. We’ll
have plenty to eat, including potato salad
and my famous tomato salsa.
No cafeteria food allowed! If you need to
stay the night, there’s a sleeping alcove out
on the patio , with a comfortable hammock.
I’m allergic to tobacco smoke, so please
don’t bring your smelly cigars.
To
get here, start at the plaza downtown, go north until you
reach the mouth of the canyon, then turn right at the first
silo--it’s
a cinch.
Drive
safely, and watch out for armadillos!
Hector
