Dear Shelby,

Thanks for the nice letter.  Glad you got your packages!

It is ice-coated here today.  Nothing is moving.  Even the stores have closed.  It is solid ice.

I'm glad you remember all the things we used to do!  Like baking cookies!

I hope the Mummer's Parade is on in your area.  The morning part is just clowns, etc.  The afternoon part is beautiful though.

I certainly hope you enjoyed your Christmas.  Wish I could have been there.  Glad I could have talked to you though.

Mrs. Wallace baked me a birthday cake.

I went to Donna's for the day.  They picked me up & brought me home.  They gave me a beautiful sweater, blouse & slacks.  The slacks are too small but I can exchange them.  Also a box from the cheese store with a little of everything in it.

Santa left a few things for you & Jack here.  I guess your Mom & Dad will  be here before too long.

Well hon, not much news here.  Take care and write soon.

Love always,

Grandma
