Dear Mookie

Dear Mookie,

Mom and Dad miss you very much eight gazillion miles away from where you are. But this is a good opportunity for you to grow and be self-reliant. Listen to the camp counselors because they're wise. Even if one of them looks like a dog. He might also fart but so do you so don't be judgemental. Being judgemental will never get you anywhere in life. Unless you're a judge, and given all your credentials (wow, that's good camp), you might be one by now.

Grandma and Grandpa wish you were here and we promised that next time, we'll bring you along. You would be the queen of all dogs here, especially looking at their puny sizes. They all walk around, yelling "kick me, kick me." I don't know why.

2006 08 Korea 0001

We've been eating yummy Korean food. Grandpa is growing organic raspberries and grandma's making jam, and we're drinking raspberry juice wine and beer. Yeah, grandpa gave your dad this raspberry juice and then mixed it with cold beer. It was actually very good. "Beautiful," grandpa calls it.

You think the door buzzer for the refrigerator is weird? We have a whole fridge dedicated just for kimchi. Little kimchi elves come out but they don't buzz. No, we haven't been drinking.

Dad went running this morning and he ran twice around the apartment complex and got sick of the same path, so he ran to the woods. Trails here are not very different from the one we were just at. Short and very steep. But lots of switchbacks. Mom and grandma went for a walk this morning at the same time. We walked by farms and red chili peppers, drying. We also saw huge ceramic jars on rooftops filled with soy sauce and red pepper paste. Moderation in quantity doesn't seem to be the thing around here.

You might like hanging out here and helping with marinating perilla leaves. You can see more pictures on our blog to be posted very soon.

Good luck with Day 4, take care of everyone, you might see your aunt Min if she can come and visit you this weekend, but ask Chris and Julie if it's okay first. They might not be available. You don't have to do anything actually. Adults will talk amongst themselves. Adults also think their farts don't smell bed (Simpsons reference).

Much love, kisses

Mom and Dad
