Dear Riley, You sounds like a fun guy! I wish I could come and play sticks wiff you! Sometimes I do try and bring them inside but my mom has an eye like an eagle and I can't usually get away wiff it. This is a picture of me tryin' but as you can see she taked a picture of me and I wuz caught in the act.

Sometimes the trees drop these little ball things and I gets to smuggle them inside and then shred them all up. She always says, "Oh Bella!" Anyways, Riley, thanks for writin' me. My mom says for you to tell your mom thanks for alla the kind werds!

Your pal, Bella
