Mac & Grams

I get a real kick of this email chain between "MacKenzie" and her Grandma Susie P from this week.

Hi Grammy.

I wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how excited I am for you to visit me at Thanksgiving. We are planning on going for a hike on Saturday so you'll want to bring warm clothes for that. Tennis shoes, too. Maybe even a tennis ball?!!

I am so excited to spend Christmas with you, Kathi, CECE, Monty and Tommy. We'll have a (and hopefully play some) ball. I cannot wait to play with Boomer again. He's so dreamy.

Mommy wanted me to see when you'd be back from Evansville the weekend that they're home. She didn't know if I could stay in my cage Sunday and wait for you or if she needed to find me a home for the night. Please let her know. She worries about these things because she loves me sooo much.

Again, I'm looking forward to picking you up next Thursday at Denver's airport. It is one of my favorite drives. I'd better get back to my cage now before Mommy notices that I was on her laptop while she was at work! ;)
Love always,
MacKenzie P.

Dear MacKenzie,

What a nice surprise to hear from you. I hope you didn't get in trouble for using Mommy's laptop. I am so anxious to see you and Mommy and Daddy for Thanksgiving. I will be bring warm clothes so we can go hiking. I hope Mommy is planning on shopping on Black Friday.

We will have so much fun when you are here for Christmas. I know that Gracie will have fun with you and Monty at Christmas. I will have to call Boomer and let him know you are coming for a visit. Mary and Tom are going to be getting a puppy in January.

If Mommy will let me, I could take you to Newburgh on the 12th. But, if not, I could ask Carla to watch you as I am not sure when I will get home. I worry that the weather could get bad. Just let me know.
I will see you in about 8 days.
All my love,
Grammy

Grammy,

Thanks for getting back with me so quickly. Mommy is definitely planning on doing Black Friday shopping. She said that Target is giving away $10 in gift cards for every $50 spent before noon that day. She's hoping to do her shopping for Grace at Target!

Mom will send a stocking for me to open at Christmas. I heard Mary and Tom aren't getting a Schnauzer and I think that's sad.

I will be in Upland until the night of the 12th when Mommy and Daddy meet the Ducks for dinner in Muncie. Do you mind asking Carla to watch me on Sunday? I like her and tearing up her house plants. ;)
Love,
MacK
 
MacKenzie,

I will ask Carla to watch you but I won't say anything about tearing up her plants. What time would she get you on the 13? Boomer is so excited to see you. If Carla can't watch you then Boomer's parents will keep you.
See you soon.
Love,
Grammy
