You won't believe what I got in the mail today.
I now have in my possession Gold.
When my brothers and myself were small we had the most strict, most kind, most forgiving person you could have as a babysitter....
That person was none other then Veda Mitchell.
As I rember it she was an awesome woman, raising 3 kids of her own and at the lose of one, with nobody but herslf and strong will to get her through. She used to scrounge the house for things for us to eat and always came up with something healthy even though I doubt she ever had more then $20.00 in her purse at any one time. She taught us about love, compassion, rules of life and, how to be strong when things are looking bleak. Always strong willed and wouldn't let us fart sideways if we didn't have a good reason for it.
One thing I remember most is how late at night before she put us to sleep, she always had a scary ghost story to tell us. I have for many,many,many,many,many years wanted those stories because I can only remember parts of each.
Well today my Mom called and said she had some letters for me. 3 letters to be exact all from Veda....Oh Man my heart jumped 2 times when she said that............here's what I received.

Here are the stories I got...
1) Margie, Margie, give me back my BIG TOE
2) The Bear and the Monkey
3) Bloody eyes and Bloody bones
Oh by the way they are all hand written. How often do people hand write things now-a-days?
Thanks Veda and thanks Mommy for those letters...My kids are going to be scared out of their skin....HaHaHaHahehehehe

Hi marky.. I am so glad she sent those to you.. I know she probable used her last 3 stamps to do so.
Please look on the envelope and find her return address and send her THANK-YOU letters, or cards, for taking the time to do this for you. She loves to get mail, and is like a little kids when someone sends her thoughtful letters.
just beinging a mom
Hey bro... give me a copy of those when you get a chance. Also, send me her address as well. I really do want to send her a letter. We had a lot of good times over there. :) You are right -- you have GOLD in your hands!!
