Thank you, Grandpa!


So... a certain girlie recently completed an after-school fly-fishing class. She loves to tie flies!
She knows that a certain someone in her family is a world-class fly-fisherman... my dad!
A few weeks ago, she handed me an addressed envelope and asked me for a stamp to mail it to her grandpa. I asked what was inside. She said it was about fishing. Recently, a package arrived.
My dad had sent her a very special package :D He filled one of his own fly-fishing inventions (the awesome container) with his favorite flies!! She was absolutely esctatic!!
This makes me smile and smile.

Dad mentioned this to me. He was tickled pink she would think to write to him about fly tieing and he was sad he couldn't send her some of the flies he had tied himself.

Love your kids, and so glad she had the opportunity to have such a cool class!

It thrills me she's so outgoing and mentally sharp! Dad was tickled, as Aprillium mentioned. He was very pleased to be able to send her something he'd made -- even though it wasn't the expected fishing flies.
