Long Distance Phone Call

Been waiting for fifteen minutes to connect my call Not sure if the location code is known. Keep getting invalid number please try again What’s up with this phone? Oh, I hear some progress in the line communicating. Hope it’s not just a third party line, I heard a click like someone picked up Hi mom and dad are you both fine? I just called to say I miss you both Have not heard from you in awhile. Sorry that I can see you but I can hear Just imagine that I am sending you my smile. This call is long distace but that’s okay with me I won’t have to pay as I reversed the charge! I’m doing fine but I gained some weight My clothes don’t fit, so I will have to get extra large. Ido miss your visits and the home cooked meals Those were especially scrumptious treats you made I know that food would spoil if you sent it now and letters would not be sent unless it’s prepaid. But I won’t keep you as I know you have gardening to do Must be a cribbage board with pegs which dad is leading? so I will hang up now, I’ll call again sometime When I tap on your grave, hug me…it’s what I’m needing. Oh… I watered the flowers before you…..
