That Tuesday she writes “FIRST GRANDCHILD”. She gives a number of details about Jessica that one normally does about a newborn such as time, weight, length. Then she talks about Jessie’s eyes and hair. On Thursday she brought mother and daughter back to Honeyville. That weekend family friend Alma Thrash and our sister Vangee Nez came to visit and see the newest family member. Vange made fry bread for tacos. Mom lists a bunch of others who came by over the weekend to visit and check out the baby. Sunday was another day of receiving attention while at church. Everyone wanted to hold Jessica.
She heard from me this week while I was still on a church mission in Spain. International snail mail was not as reliable as it is today, not that it’s much better these days.
