My First Penpal
March 14th Prompt: What is your favourite childhood memory? Does anything make you feel nostalgic?
         
         
         
I remember childhood. Those were carefree days.
         I kept up a penpal relationship with my maternal grandma, Nanny. In each letter I'd describe my schoolwork and what was new in my life. I never had the greatest penmanship, it resembled a scrawl or chicken scratchings.
          I also neglected to write out the full address on the envelopes. I simply addressed each missive to: Nanny, Sundridge, Ont. She received all of my mailings. I still marvel at the postmaster not only knowing who she was, but where she lived as well.
         Sometimes, I'd include some art work, or stories I'd composed. I wish I could read those letters and early creative endeavours now.
         I do not know why, but I signed those bits of correspondence with Sandy B. My aunts and uncle started referring to me as Sandy B-dot.
         Nanny would answer with letters she wrote. She shared local news and snippets of gossip.I miss those days and my first, most loving penpal.
