Dear Miss Blue,

Your letter, just arrived, has opened up so many memories of days gone by! The scene of our first adventure into unexplored, for us, places, and our brave notions of suitable independence,(after-all, we didn't want to make too much of a splash) like joining the Military (it was possible, Miss Blue, if you remember, the recruiting of women for the first time in history, into the military; but we chose the Gold Rush and Alaska). Once there we opened The Two Girls Waffle Shop. How amazing was our courage and, of course, it was a personal thing, our love of the Waffle!

And now, after all these years, Pearl's Diner emerges, with its ever so many varieties of tasty food, including the original Alaskan Waffle. A true story to enliven the heart and soul of the entrepreneur, for once and for all!  Louise is all panicky since I spoke to her about Linquini's behavior; she thanks you Miss Blue, for the ticket home but I sense a regret at leaving the kitchen here at the Diner and, of course, Schubert. He has assured her of his loyalty and will do his best with the Diner employees and their customers. By that I mean to say, the Diner will continue to keep up a excellent and attractive reputation, as always.

Amazing to hear of Linguini's high-wire talents! Just a clown at heart, and possibly a new career is in sight? Monkey- like tickles me, Miss Blue. Singing whilst swinging. The Love of the Theater can't be overlooked, that being said I send....

Love, Pearl, Writing From The Porch
