Dear Shelby,

Such pretty writing paper!  Glad to hear from you.

Our weekend was rough.  The wind was wicked.  This one is supposed to be the same.  We had snow & rain.  The Poconos got 18".

I just made some cranberry jello.  I love cranberries.  I got a half gallon of frozen vanilla yogurt with cranberries & raspberry swirl.  It was Kemp's.  Tell your Mom ~~ She asked me what kind it was and I couldn't remember at the time.

I am reading "The Capture" by Victoria Holt.

I loved the pictures of your house.  I couldn't believe how far along they have gotten in so short a time.  Your Mom says your Dad & Buddy are going there today about the wiring.

Your Mom says they want to come up before the holiday, so I better get some cookies started.  Last year she called & said they were coming up & I only had a few days to get any made.

Ruth & I went to Red Lobster for lunch on Thursday.  I would rather have gone to Country Buffet but she likes to be "waited on" so I don't push the issue.

The afghan is so pretty.  I blocked it & it sure is big!

Well hon, I better close now & get some dusting done.  Write when you can & have a nice holiday!  

Love always,

Grandma

Love to Jack.
