Adding a Little Color

A package came from Minnesota. Inside was a gift wrapped present from my son with my name on it. "Don't open until your other present comes" it said. But when we talked to Jim on the phone, he said I could open it if I wanted to. Inside was a package of nice markers, the kind one can used to color those fancy adult coloring books... The markers got me excited because a few months ago I'd told Jim it would be really cool if he made me a coloring book for Christmas. I could hardly contain myself!

The following day an orange envelope appeared on my back porch. Inside I found a Coloring Calendar. Each month has a corresponding, hand drawn picture to color. How fun!

I made a few copies of the pictures, so I could practice, and then I shared with some small grandchildren who came to visit us this afternoon.
