My daughter and my mother have a lovely little thing going - they write letters to each other in an exercise book and they post it back and forth to each other, that way all the letters that each of them has written is kept together in one place and can be re-read and not lost. This might be something your granddaughter may like too.Magnolia Verandahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01212421297757442015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650649438155050655.post-50959541243232451452012-04-05T21:53:27.809-04:002012-04-05T21:53:27.809-04:00Wonderful!

My girls struggle to read the cards and letters that family sends because they aren't accustomed to having to figure out the individual nuances of someone's penmanship... I find this frustrating. They hand the card to me with a quizzical look on their face and I just read it. The are astounded.<br /><br />Blessings, Debbieno spring chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15772761727295689298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650649438155050655.post-19479777414167996842012-04-05T09:16:25.934-04:002012-04-05T09:16:25.934-04:00How wonderful that your kids went thrifting for yo...How wonderful that your kids went thrifting for you!!
