visited. What a fun weekend that was. I'm writing to you to actually inform you that some of your things are still at my place. Remember the blue jacket you wore for the concert? That's still with me. I

have your small make-up pouch. I have dry-cleaned your jacket and kept it nicely folded in a cloth bag along with your make-up pouch. I know you have a lot of cosmetics so I'm sure you didn't need any of what you left at my place. Well, I wanted to share with you that I have joined the spinning classes I was talking to you about. It's been two weeks already and they have been great. I enjoy attending them. I am

into Netflix off lately. Let me know if you have any suggestions for me.  I apologize for not writing earlier about
this
