These are family heirlooms

Nana and I have been springing around Spokane, having all kinds of grand adventures.  Today we checked out a Raku firing workshop, hanging around potters all day was a nice warm up to going to see the Prohibition era Perfectly Modern Millie, full of great dancing and Fabulous Costumes- such fun!

But in between adventures, Nana unearthed a folder of letters she had written to her mother during their time in Alaska.  Yup, onion skin, type writer pages, that her Mom thoughtfully dated for when they became family heirlooms. (Guess thoughtful mothering runs in the family!)  We are bringing it to share with Dad and Bart on our mini family reunion- well surprise them, I hope.  If I can get their permission (their childhood antics being the main feature of the letters), I might try and copy some highlights to the blog.  There are some fantastic Papa stories, early pioneer adventures and childhood shenanigans never previously discussed.

The adventure continues in Seattle at 0'dark thirty tomorrow, so I'm off to bed.  Just needed to brag a little more about how much fun Nana and I are having.
