THE SEASONS

THE WINDY CITY

Chicago, where I am from, is called the "Windy City."  In the winter a cold wind blows off Lake Michigan and it snows a lot.  The temperature gets very cold, sometimes below zero. In the spring the weather is great.  It's warm and the snow melts.  People plant gardens and start to play outdoor sports like baseball. In the summer it's hot and sometimes humid.  People swim and turn on their air conditioners to keep cool.  Sometimes it rains or we get thunderstorms.  In the fall it's cool.  People prepare for winter and buy warm clothes like coats and hats.  The leaves change colors and fall from the trees.  It's very beautiful.

The temperature gets below zero in winter.

THE POSTALDear Marie:It's the third day of our cruise.  We went to the beach on the first day.  The children played in the sand and swam in the ocean while my husband and I relaxed in the sun and drank cocktails.  I also went snorkeling and saw a lot of colorful fish. 

The food on the ship is fantastic.  We ate at the buffet last night and we ate in the dining room the night before.  It's a beautiful ship.  It has a huge pool which we swam in yesterday afternoon.I hope things are going well at work.  I'll be back soon.Marge
