My house (made out of palm tree wood). I didn’t pose Plum there; she did it herself!
Living room area? Note the poster of me…I mean, Taylor Swift.
Some of the cards you guys have sent me! Apparently I’m loved.
Wardrobe room. Bathroom is through the door…figured you wouldn’t want to see a picture of that…
Wardrobe. Bedroom behind.
Bedroom. My neighbor made the sweet bed frame for me.
Kitchen.
And now…Plum pictures!
Plum sleeping with her pal, the whale (a gift from my 4 year old friend).
Food all over her face. She eats everything!
Sunning her tush in the afternoon sol.










Nice digs. I like the color scheme, blue exterior, pink interior. It’s so you. At first I did think you had a poster of yourself on the wall. Now that I know it’s Taylor Swift, my first thought went to your inability to vocalize well. Nice bedframe! Looks like quality craftsmanship. Plum is really cute, but will grow out of the box very quickly.

Are you sure that’s food on Plum’s face? She’s a real cutie and I’m sure a great companion for you. Like your dad, I too like the color scheme of your house. The green and pink walls in the kitchen are a nice touch. Enjoy your privacy:)

I’m so jealous of your adventures and quite impressed with all your Peace Corps projects. Your posts have made me laugh as always and significantly improved my day. I know this will make me sound like a cat lady, but pets really are good friends. Plum is adorable and seems like quite the companion. I want to mail you a life update…..is your address still the same? Miss you and love you!

Hey, didn’t you name the dog in that kids book Plum?…the one you won a picture of….great name for a really cute dog. I’m glad you have him around to keep you company. He will end up a most accomplished dog since I assume you are teaching him both English and Spanish!
