Letter from Grandma Wessman

le 7 avril 1989

Dear Mindy
We made quite a project out of your school assignment but we’re duplicating it also to go in our life story so you get the original copies. It took me 7½ hours Fri. morn to complete — Grandpa is a little faster — so here it is — We’re glad to share our experiences with you — Thank your teacher — It’s great. We did a shorter version for Amy & Eliza.

I’m glad you are having opportunities to work. The letter you sent is so good! It’s newsy, informative, explitive & so great to hear what you are doing. I wish you could have come also with your mom. Your letter came Mon. afternoon after your mom left. It took us til Fri morn to get to it — After I finished my question-answer letter assignment I realized I forgot the learning to drive story so it is on the back of this page because it is funny and you will appreciate the story of it — I think it’s funny now but when I did it — ’twasn’t funny at all. Too serious, me!

Enjoyed your mom here ——— and you are well come here anytime — if you get a chance to come DO IT! You’ll never get the same opportunity ——— that goes for anything in life — If you hesitate — the opportunity never returns the same way — so learn to make good decisions fast. It takes practice. I have have a bad habit of habit of talking myself out of things & then saying it doesn’t matter and then later I am sorry that I didn’t do it — so learn by my mistakes — don’t think too much — do it — (all in rteousness of course!). We’d love to have you come sometime — catch a ride up here this summer.

You have a wonderful family — We enjoyed your mother here — but it was too short a time — we learn to enjoy all the precious moments in life — and these are special ones — being together —

Hope this isn’t too long for you to wade through

Love
Grandma & Grandpa W.
