Open Letter from Grimsby

Saturday July 6th, mixed sunny, cloudy morning with 19 C. I have to go 
to a Birthday party at my daughter's friend place at 3 pm. It was good, 
I enjoyed. I gave pearl bracelet to the girl and silk Stole to her Mom. 
We have to take anything as a gift when we visit someone place.

Sunday July 7th, 15 C, today we have to go to a BBQ Birthday party 
at 2 pm. He is a boy, I will give cash to him. It is a small community. 
Everyone knows me as I come here every year. 

It is 8 am, everyone sleeping. I am making my breakfast, oatmeal porridge,
stir fried egg and half cup of tea. The small round wooden table and three 
sleek wooden chairs are by the big glass panel, at the left side in the 
kitchen. 

I am sitting here and enjoying the view of the beautiful back garden. 
Pink Roses with special fragrance, the White Daisies, the Red Hydrangea, 
all giving me smile. I opened the kitchen door to feel the Aura. 

I can see the White Butterfly talking to White Daisies. I think she came all 
the way from Toronto to see me. She started smiling, when I opened the 
door. I am happy to see her too. Happiness travels both ways.

It is July 8th, 18 C, today is my daughter's birthday. I planned to give her
treat, to go to have breakfast at some nice place but our youngest one
not feeling well so we skipped. Do it next time on some other day.

Dear Retirees, you people were asking about how I am coping with our 
grand kids. Trust and love are the key factors in all relationships. When 
we have trust that our interests will be taken care of, everything works well.

We never have to take advantage of anyone, same is with our grand kids. 
It ruins relationships. My eldest one here, is working. He got me winter 
Designer jacket from his first pay cheque. 

I used to bring gifts for them but now I give cash to everyone. Teenagers 
like to buy their own things. I give twenty pound each. We have to make 
sure not to favor anyone. It hurts others.

My days are passing around my grand kids to drop and pick them up with
my daughters. Going for their swimming and doing groceries. I am happy 
this all gives me time to spend with my daughter.

It is 9th July 15 C, cloudy morning, after dropping kids to school and
work, I went to Premier Inn, to give birthday treat to my daughter. 
One Continental and one full breakfast, cost me total seventeen pound.
We had pictures and good time.

July 10th, 17 C, cloudy morning with drizzle. Every day after our school 
run, dropping kids to school and work, me and my daughter try to sneak 
to enjoy our own time. We went to Cleetorpes. It is seaside, tourist spot. 
We walked around the beach, had pictures.

July 11th, 16 C. Today my daughter's friend arranged Brunch for me. 
I got chocolates to take to her place. It is nice to give something in return, 
to acknowledge the goodwill gesture.

Friday 12th July, my daughter organized dinner party for her husband's 
birthday. She invited four families, managed to cook couple of dishes, some 
dishes, she got from outside. It was nice, everyone enjoyed. 

Small towns are quiet, people do such activities to get busy and enjoy. 
It is good to be connected. We Humans are social animals and belong 
to the same Human Family.
