Good morning, Eleana. It's a beautiful spring morning here, cool & sunny. I can only imagine your sunrise and day that is well under way in London, England. How's the coffee? My cup is ready now. I'll go on the front porch and face the northeast and say a prayer for your safe journey on to Johannesburg, South Africa. I love you, Mom.

Hi, Lana, it's Mom. Just got home from a Girl Scout Leader planning meeting for next year. It ran so long. Tomorrow is Mrs. Cherry's birthday, so I took her a present, also a graduation present for Melissa. She said to tell you, "hi".
We had a terrible thunderstorm tonight. Hilary was working the concession stand at Hall Park, so got to leave early.
Tomorrow after work, I will get things together for the yard sale.
So glad you got your bags! Guess you'll have to save shopping for ZA. I'm so excited for you. The flight will be so long, but just look what is waiting for you there! The opportunity of a lifetime. Love from us all, the lights are still burning for you.

Hey my big sis! Sorry I didn't get to write you until now. No one told me how busy I was going to be this summer...lol. Especially already! Summer classes have started well and SGA stuff is keeping me even busier. I love having my own office (well cubbie) and all the extra perks being an officer has. I miss you though. It's wierd not having you up here, but I'm holding it down in Campus Pointe....lol. I hope you and Gavin are having a great time sight seeing. I wish I could be there with ya'll. Maybe I could meet a stud from London...keep a look out for me now! Remember, I'm bumping my standards up...jk. And I am sorry about your luggage. Definately a good thing you took that carry on bag. If you need me to send some more clothes though I can! Don't forget about me know while I am here at school. I can't always get the juice about you unless mom or dad gives me a call. But I can't wait to talk to you soon. Bring me back something good! I love you! Kisses my big sister!
Mom
Oh, forgot. Tell the Queen "hello" and I'm still waiting for an invitation to have tea with her.
Brian

Mom
Good Morning, Eleana. It's 6:30am here. Gonna be a beautiful sunny day, get in the 80's, then thunderstorm later.
I forgot to tell you that Elliott got voted off of American Idol last night by just fractions of a point between Taylor & Catherine.
On the Amazing Race, the "hippies" won. They ran a good race.
Have a great day! I love you! Mom
Mom
Well about time for me to go to bed, but not without telling you we burned a candle last night and another one tonight. The hall light remains on all day & night. The front porch light comes on at dark and goes out when the sun rises. In case you lose your way, the light will burn for you.
Enjoy your tour of London. Do it all. Ms. Nancy said to go to "Mickey's." I think it is a pub and restaurant.
Hope your bags make it before you leave London, if not, shop a little. You Brockett girls are good at it.
Rest well. Good night. Love, Mom
Hilary

Dad - I'm Bigger
Hi my sweetie. I sent you an e-mail to your school address, I wasn't told to do on this this, so o'well. I love you, and I kinda miss ya, I say kinda so it won't hurt so bad. However, as you know, I'm bigger so I get to miss you more.
I am so very very proud of you, as well as the desires and ambitions you have set for your self.
I love you very mush, and remember to keep your drawers dry, we don't want any chafing. Hope you get your cloths soon.
Dad
