My granddaughter has always loved pictures. When she was small I lived two hours away so I sent her “letters” in the mail. Since she couldn’t read I made stick figure drawings.
This “letter” chronicled a weekend we spent together–building a fort (a common interest of ours), shopping for food, eating dinner with her mom, and playing on the floor. It was the first of many “letters” that still remind me it’s the small pleasures I cherish spending time with those I love.

What a very good idea! Both to send her a real letter, so she gets the excitement of receiving mail and then instead of words to use drawings. So clever. No doubt a good tradition and will make a lovely “album” of memories.

Peggy, this is a fabulous way to “talk” with Lucy – she’ll keep these letters forever, and I bet one day, she’ll be painting memories for her own kids and grandkids.

Shari,
I hope so-she loves art. She has one of the letters on her wall.
