I had no idea I could write in cursive when I was only ten and a half years old. I would have guessed around twelve maybe. Also, it's too bad I didn't find this letter before yesterday - like about two weeks ago.
The page was folded up and on the outside I had written: "Ruth Lynam % Greater Community Hospital, Creston, Iowa." No stamp, so I know I sent it with my Dad to give to her.
And this is why I wrote: "I would like to see Leslie Louis".
I had a baby brother! And I couldn't wait to hold him.
I treasure these old reminders of my past.
It is a new month and one I look forward to every year - March - when spring arrives.
"March is a tomboy with tousled hair, a mischievous smile, mud on her shoes and a laugh in her voice." (Hal Borland)
I read that and immediately thought of this picture of my daughter --
Oh, I know we'll still have more snow, but I always get such a hopeful feeling when spring is near.
