Love and Lessons



"That bread smells
so good grandma."
"It's not done yet
sweetheart. It's baking.
Help me fix the salad
for dinner."
"Jodi, would you like
to go for a walk after
dinner?" "Yes, grandpa."
"Jodi, why don't you
clean and organize
your room, and then
we'll go to the store."
"Okay, grandma."
"Jodi, Happy, Birthday!
Love, grandma Ruth."
"Grandma Ruth, Happy
Birthday! Love, Jodi."
