My beautiful, kind, generous, creative, super-wonderful grandma is ninety-six years old. And she lives five hours away from me. That's just way too far. I used to try to call her every few weeks, but it has gotten harder to have phone conversations (cell phone issues, finding a good time to call). So, a while ago, I decided to send her weekly letters. It has been so fun and easy to do. I just copy and paste photos into a Word document, then print it out. Lots of pictures of the kids, some of my crochet projects, some of what I see outside my window. Then I hand write the letter and captions for the photos.
She has been very happy to receive them! And I feel like even though I don't get to see her very often (though I try to as often as I can) she is getting to see pictures of the kids and little snapshots into my life.
Next time I visit with her we are going to have a fashion show with all her incredible hats from the 1940s-60s. I can't wait! Valerie and Andrew are going to look so adorable. Great Grandma, too.
what a great idea!! i should write her too - but I do always send pictures her way.

ReplyDeleteI like this Sara. It's very thoughtful. Not to mention how nice it is to receive real mail and not junk mail or email.
