On Why Not Write Your Grandparents A Letter?
@Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith Oh, do it! Just like the author said, they just want to hear from you - random doodlings are MORE than fine. All my generally excellent grandparents are dead, but I absolutely recall 2 letters I sent my maternal grandparents - years apart. One, from a business trip to Helsinki, where I hadn't the time or opportunity to buy an English-language magazine or paperback and had to make do with the International Herald-Tribune. I noted (wittily) to them that if they needed to know about sugar production in the Caribbean, I was there girl. And another missive - perhaps when I was between jobs? - where I mentioned I was thinking about applying for a corporate job at Blockbuster, even thought they were the Great Satan of video rental.
Not stunning prose, right? My grandparents both died thinking I was a comedic genius, and also, I hope, that I was a thoughtful granddaughter who loved them.

In fairness, that cherry dress is a knock off of one Marilyn Monroe wore in "The Misfits". Google "marilyn monroe cherry dress".
