May: Jim turned out to be a pretty nice guy. He and Marybeth are really good friends. America is a really nice place. We go to school and Michael loves it. So does Marybeth. Diana likes it with the other kids. Grace, I think she has a crush on the boy she sits next to. But don’t tell anyone. Mama opened a bakery in town. She makes really good bread! And me, nothing’ much has happened to me. But one things for sure, I’ve had my Eyes on America.
