    Dear J.B.,
    Great work, as always!
    I couldn’t resist the opportunity to rejoice with you over these low temps in the middle of July!
    A few weeks ago, you really encouraged me….
    Somewhere you said, “Only eleven more weeks until October…” I quoted that one to everyone I know! Please keep the countdown going through the hot days and nights ahead.
    God Bless,
    Vanessa
