I hope this letter finds you well and that it does not come as too much of a surprise. I should have written sooner to check in, but I've been quite busy. It is no excuse of course, I should have endeavored to find the time. Romania has been an interesting visit. I have grown quite fond of the small town we are staying in while studying the Longhorn. This new reserve seems to be doing well, not entirely unlike the one at home. It's not quite as expansive as some of the others, especially the MacFusty's, but I think they're aiming to expand upon it in the future.

Anyway, I wrote with a purpose more than excuses and ramblings. I saw this little carved dragon at one of the stalls in the Saturday bazaar and it made me think of you. Maybe it was the bright emerald color, brought the Greens to mind. I hope you like it.

How are things in the glen? At the hospital? Please give my best to your family and everybody 'round the pub.
