Dear John,
I know it's early, but there are a couple of things I can't wait to tell you.
Today was Grandparents Day at the elementary school, and a good time was had by all. It meant a lot to me that Elyssa was excited about my being there. We went to their rooms first, then had lunch with them, then recess. Elyssa had been telling me about the different slides on the playground, so she showed me all the gym equipment. And I got to meet and talk to her teacher, who I like very much. It was fun. And it was another of those things I never dreamed I'd get to do. It was a special morning.
As I walked home, DeWayne drove into his driveway. So I went over to talk for a bit. And get this: Remember little Tanner? He's the new town Clerk/Treasurer. I can't believe he's all grown up now. What age does that make me? Older than dirt? Yeow. I'm so glad and proud of him.
I wish you could go by and congratulate Tanner. And I wish you could have been there for Grandparents Day. Elyssa remembers you, and I'm so thankful for that. I tell her how much you loved her. She sees your picture every day, so she will continue to remember you. I'm glad Danica is old enough to have really known you, and so thankful that she was here last winter. We all miss you.

I just had to tell you this and show you the picture - it wouldn't wait until tonight. I need to get back to housework now. I love you lots. If the Visitor Policy is ever changed, be sure to let me know.
Love you, Grandpa!
Joan.
