I Love my Nana

Dear Anna,
Yesterday was Grandpa's 91st birthday. Goings on were special. We have been bushed. Today's mail brought twice as many cards as he got yesterday, and actually we got so many yesterday, we didn't take a count or roll call for those missing. Tonight His eldest daughter will arrive, and we will begin all over again.
I am pleased to have your e-mail address and I am interested in the kind of work you are doing these days. I've got Veena's birth day in mind, and sent a card/ I e-mailed her too,but the message came back. Grandpa just came in to tell me about storms in the Phoenix/Chandler area and he feels his daughter will not be able to make it here, so I must go do some research.
Till later.
NANA, GRANDMA MARJORIE
and then

Greetings,
I've been caught up with all the July birthdays and beside that, my computer acted up. Waiting for the serviceman to get my scanner and printer back on track. I've been told I can not hurt the computer, but that doesn't mean I can not get it locked up.
I am curious what your day's work consists of. Plese inform me. You are so good at speech and communicating I hope you are using that skill.
Neither Grandpa nor I are driving----and that really lets you know we are old! But, we are in a great neighborhood, and that says a lot. I hear Grandpa needing me. Will drop in again soon.
Love to you, Anna====G. MA
OMG that is so sweet. Any chances that you might want to swap gramdmas ?

So sweet! That makes me wish my grandmother spoke English. I do get these beautifully ornate and formal e-mails from my grandfather every so often, and he's always offended when I don't write back.

Isn't your Grandmother...um...WHITE? Just for sake of clarification.

Yup. Very. I know where you're going with this-- yes, her prowess in English is a given. I just think it's awesome that she's in her 80s and very online. My mom is 30 years her junior and...well, isn't.

That's so nice.

I guess it is...at first I thought it was one of your "real mail from you posts" where someone was acting like your fake grandmother just to figure out where you were working...since she seems to ask that over and over again.
But then again, I guess my grandmother would've kept asking me that too.
