hope letter 01 - paternal grandparents

-
Day 1 complete.

Below is the letter I sent to my paternal grandparents:
Grandma/Grandpa,
    Hello! I don't know if I have ever written you in long-hand - I do hope this letter finds you well!

    I just wanted to say "I love you" and that I was thinking of you. Ialso wanted to sharea bout your great-grandchildren.!

    Manual is getting so big! He's 8 and loves puzzles, LEGOs, mazes, and is growing into a responsible, Godly young man.

    Edward is also growing up so fast! he's 6 and is into coloring books, LEGOs, and Manny. They're best friends - though they sometimes fight a bit.

    Amanda has always been big for her age. She's only 3½ and almost keeps up with her brothers! She can't yet run, so they do tend to pull ahead.

    Tanya stays busy - this morning she volunteered at a a local race (a 5 kilometer, I believe) and this afternoon she is attending a baby shower and visiting relatives.

    I'm keeping busy myself; I am looking at different companies than my current employers and have been on several interviews. The first was ethically not acceptable and the second may actually bear fruit.

    As a family, we have a regular church and do try to attend - though it is a challenge with three young children. I cannot imagine how you did it with 6!

Well, please do take care!

    Also, I have three questions for you:

    1 - What is your favorite memory?

    2 - What do you miss most from your youth?

    3 - What is one thing you would ask of your parents if they were still living?

    With Love,

Jason, Tanya, Manual, Edward, & Amanda

As Mary made her way along the path, the way grew a little wider; the subtle hint of the crashing waves behind her gave way to a sweet murmuring.  "The air seems cooler," Mary thought to herself, as the murmuring grew gently louder.  Moving along the path, Mary saw the walk bubbling up quietly from some unseen source; where the water flowed, along the path, the slope of the hill fell.  "Wow, natural spring water," Mary thought a she held her flask against the current.  The left and right side of the path were covered in a clear, clean stream, and the center of the path held rocks that continued the path, sloping upwards.  Having taken a few solid gulps and filling her flask, Mary hopped onto the first rock, being careful to land in the center. "How curious," considered Mary, as she looked at the stepping stone.  "It appears to be made of wood but decorated as if it were stone."  Looking forward, Mary noted the stones continued on their steady p...

[.: Brainstorm; random words :.] Gossamer dreams of ember days, ordinary ordinations gone ablaze, and time lost to sand and haze, has come to roost in deeper plays. "Why am I here," asked Mary, as she stood on the beach.  There had been a point where Mary was quite certain of what she had been doing.  She was sure of it.  "I don't recall how I arrived here," stated Mary to her shadow.  Standing on the beach, letting the wind draw attention to her feet, Mary glanced at the designs drawn by waves from unknown shores.  Small eddies revealed shells, filling the spaces between her toes, and slowly she walked; the waves crashed gently to her right as the soft sun hid behind clouds and cast a shadow several feet ahead. "Perhaps I shall run across someone whom I might recognize," said Mary, as she moved along the shore.  "At the very least, they might help me remember something."  As the beach slowly revealed a dune in the distance, the water ...

previous                                               Doctor Archibald McGuffin III spoke to his patient. "I'm sorry, Harry," said Dr. Archie, as he took the placed the stethoscope into his jacket pocket. A small popping sound heralded the absence of the scope. "What do you mean, Doc?" asked Archie. "I only came in here to ask about my sensitivity to moonlight." Pregnant pauses filled the air as Dr. Archie popped the floating pauses; the air cooled audibly. "I believe you may not have realized it, but you have it exactly backwards," said Dr. Archie. Turning toward the doctor, Harry said, "Um ... what?" Smiling, Dr. Archie picked up several of the collapsed pauses and placed them back into the holes littered across the wall. "Yes," said Dr. Ar...
