How are you? I'm hoping to get another
email from you one of these days. Grandpa and I have been enjoying
getting outside in the nice warm weather. It hasn't rained here
in a long time, and it's been just warm enough to enjoy walking
along the beaches and working in the garden. The other day we got
a bunch of oysters from the beach at Semi Ahmoo. They were delicious!
We're getting spinach from the garden now...yummy! It's so good
in salads.
Daddy knows where I put some pictures
you might want to look at sometime. Many of them are of Zoey. She's
such a pretty dog! We love taking her to the beach so she can swim,
or just walking around the village to see her friends (some dogs,
but mostly people!).
I hear you might be going camping soon.
We haven't been camping in a long time. There's so much else to
do around here. But in the fall, we plan on taking a long camping
trip to St. Louis to visit Great Grandma Gort. And if we're lucky,
we might meet up with Aunt Annie and Uncle Brent for a visit.
I put some more of teh old stories
up on the internet. Here are the links!

George
Gold
Harp

Lots of love,
Grandma & Grandpa

Hello, Katia and Emma!
It was so good hearing your voices
on the phone yesterday. Thank you for making my "Mother's Day"
so special.
It was also good to receive your message
from the web site. I think it's fun to talk in different ways, by
writing letters, talking on the phone, or in person. They're each
a little bit different, don't you think? Grandpa really enjoyed
your note too.
So you have a wobbly tooth now, Katia?
I thought all your baby teeth would be gone by now. Looks like the
tooth fairy wants to pay you another visit.
Well, I wondered if you would miss
your birthday songs this year. They are pretty silly, aren't they?
When I was looking for copies of old stories I came across some
videos we did for your birthdays. Now THEY were REALLY funny and
silly! But we had fun doing them, and I guess they made you laugh...so
we just might have to think up some more songs or videos for your
birthdays. Hmmmm...who's birthday is next? I think it's Ian! Well,
we owe him a song anyway. He hasn't had as many birthdays as either
of you, has he?
Emma, I'd like to see a picture of
you and your elephant together. Then I could see how big he really
his!
It's really too bad that you lost all
of the stories...but I did manage to find most of them here. You'll
get some on DVDs by mail, but I've put some of them up on the web
site so you can get them right away. Here are the links:
Cow
Goes Moo
The
Hoodies
Mr.
Maxwell's Mouse
Later next week, we'll be going to
the library in Blaine and I'll pick out some more books to read
to you. I really like reading stories to you, but sometimes I get
so busy doing other things that I forget. I'm glad you reminded
me.
Well, it's late and almost the end
of my "Mother's Day." I enjoyed talking with all of you.
Also, Annie and Brent called and sounded very happy. And then Uncle
Tom called and we talked for a long time. And Grandpa did all kinds
of special things for me today. To make it really perfect, I even
had fresh strawberries and ice cream for dessert tonight!
Have a fun visit with Dave and Adele.
I know they will love being there and seeing all the sights in Gerona.
We'll be back to visit again one of these days...maybe not until
next year, cause we have other people to visit too. But let's keep
in touch with letters now and then, ok?
Love and kisses,
Grandma (and Grandpa)
