Terrapin

Hi mom and dad,
Thank you very much for your letter because I was so happy to hear from you. I went swimming again yesterday on our evening hike and even though Bernd and Uben and Charlie were ready to keep walking, I HAD to stay in the water. Bernd walked on a little bit without me thinking that I would come (I was in a pond in a field) but you know me and water...I just kept swimming around in circles until he came back for me. I finally got out but I was not that happy about having to leave that nice swimming hole.
Susan emptied my food into something smaller in her kitchen and now I don't have to guard my big blue bin anymore so that is kind of a load off of me. There is no other news here except I am enjoying the sun (when it comes out), have been doing some sunbathing and I'm still being perfect.
Love,
Terrapin
