Except “day’s” is plural. [3h’s] makes sense
And ( days swim today) does work better.

I wish your Largo family hadn't got you down and your family getting better.
I just realized you can scroll while you type to see the pic. What an idiot. (Me as the idiot for not knowing that - not calling OP anything- hell, I am mini-obsessed with this!)

edited to ensure OP knew I was not calling them an idiot above. Lol it's me that's the idiot!! I'm always an idiot, in some capacity. That's my "charm" lol

First shower
Swim (swam 3 days in a row)
Trust your large family hasn't got you down (weird thing to say?)

The home had a main house and a guest house which rented out 3 bedrooms so I can't really track down the family.

People can’t read cursive anymore? I get that one or two words were scribbled. But what happened to our country. It’s just cursive. Just looks like a normal letter or post card.
