I have drafted a response letter to AF. I'm not sure how she will take it. Let me know if you think it is too strongly worded. Oh, gotta go she's knocking at the door...
Dearest Auntie Florence,
I do hope this letter finds you in good health. Thank you once again for your recent letter. You have been writing me letters and making your regular monthly visits now for over 20 years. It’s interesting that you brought up my biological clock in your last letter. Hubs and I have actually been trying to start a family of our own now for almost 2 years. This brings me to the reason for writing you this response. We are really feeling we need some space right now and we are ready to have a break from your visits for awhile. We don’t want to sever our relationship entirely and know that you are are already on route here as I write this. During this next 5 day stay we’d like to introduce you to e-mail and Skype. Hubs has refurbished an old laptop of his to give to you, so you will no longer have to use the overworked stork service to deliver your handwritten letters. Hopefully this will free up the stork that flies in our area to bring us a little bundle of joy. Once the baby arrives we’ll be sure to invite you back for a visit. I hope you are not offended and respect our needs for a change. We'd both appreciate if this is your last visit to our place for a while. Consider this your one month's notice of eviction. If you are not able to honor this polite request, we will be enlisting an expensive service to assist us in this process.
Warmest regards,
Silverdollar and Hubbie in tow
