Letter from Grandma

Dear Kids.

I'm very happy in the new residence you've put me in. This week we actually got to go outside for an hour. Unfortunately it was raining so we stayed on the steps, huddling together for warmth and trying to keep dry. The interns eventually unlocked the door and let us back inside. I guess they were working so hard they forgot all about us. Several of them were a little flushed, and a couple of them had worked so hard their shirts and blouses had come untucked. I don't know what they'd been doing but they sure hadn't been making our beds. In fact I'm sure I made my own bed before I left for breakfast that morning, but it was messed up when I went to change out of my wet clothes. Oh well, I'm old and most likely going senile so don't pay much attention to me.

The lady I play Bridge with came down with a nasty cold. She spent the last few days coughing and sneezing and blowing her nose. Lord bless her soul, those were her last few days; she died this morning. So it's lonelier now, especially as you haven't been to visit for six months, but that's ok, I guess you're all busy with your lives. I've been busy too, I've been learning to use the computer in the Recreation Room; who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. They even have a web camera which takes very nice photos. I've attached a recent picture of myself, just in case you ever come for a visit. I'd hate for you to waste any of your precious time wondering which one of the old ladies here is me.

You all take care, and write to me soon.
Love, Grandma.
