Dad and I have been looking at mills because ours does not work anymore. Julie has the style you gave us so it is proved (meaning we know it works). Thank you for that also. Thank you.

We spent a quiet day alone, Dad and I, on Christmas. You can see more about it on the family blog site. I hope you had the right amount of money in each envelope? I hope you finally got the envelopes and the presents. I will have to remember to start much earlier next year. If you did get the package, did the kids like the books? I am sorry there is not an adult one. Maybe I can send two next year.
Love, M

We did get all the cards, with the generous amounts of money. The children were so thrilled! They love the money idea. They are still trying to decide how they want to spend it. We encouraged them to save it for next year when we will be coming out to Utah, but they can't seem to think that far ahead. 

The books were very appropriate. We laughed when we opened the DVD, because I had made the comment that I wanted to buy it, but thought I ought to wait to see if someone gave it to me for Christmas. 

We love you!
Thank you very much. 

By-the-way, I haven't used my wheat mill yet. I shared one like it with Marylynne when we lived in Missouri, and I have a TON of wheat. I have a list of many things I want to use my wheat for, so I need to get my nose to the grinding stone, literally. 

Love you.
