Tree Climbers

Dear Henry Albert

I saw a whole bunch of people climbing a tree. A real BIG TREE! They use ropes.

These were real people, not monkeys or even marsupials. Sometimes it is not easy to know which is a monkey and which is a people. Also ... Not all marsupials climb trees.

The people were climbing in the Lake Claire Land Trust. It is one block away from Mike’s house in Atlanta.

The Lake Claire Community Land Trust (LCCLT) is a non-profit incorporation of neighbors who are developing land between Nelms and Arizona Avenues, resulting in a “green space” for community use and enhancement. The people of the Land Trust like Peace and Love. Peace and Love is good.

When your Mommy was a little girl, I built a tree house in the big Weeping Willow Tree in our backyard.

Tree houses are fun. Your Mommy and Mike and Adam and other kids used to sit in the tree.

The only one who ever fell out of the tree house was Dennis (Adam’s father.) He fell out of the tree house one night when we were celebrating the full moon. Fortunately, Dennis was very relaxed when he fell, so he didn’t get hurt.

Mommy Marsupials have pouches. The word Marsupial has the sound “soup” but should not be confused with soup. Soup cannot climb trees.

Blackie, Vegas and Wolfie (Mike’s doggies) like to make doo-doo in the Land Trust.
