Last year, around Labor Day, I read a "Happy Ad" in our local newspaper. There was a lady in a local nursing home, who was celebrating her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to know about it. It said that if you wanted to drop her a line(写信给她), here was her address. So I did.I found a birthday card and dropped her a short note, wishing her a happy birthday.

A week later, someone knocked at my front door. I opened the door and found a middle-aged man standing on my doorstep(门阶). He introduced himself as the son of this woman to whom I had sent the card. He explained that he just wanted to drop by in person and thank me for sending such a nice card. Apparently(显然)，like many older folks,she did not receive much mail and was quite excited to receive mine. I just didn't know what to say. I told him it was my pleasure and that I hoped his mom had enjoyed her birthday.

That year, I did not send out any Christmas cards, except to this lovely old lady in the nursing home. I just told her that I was thinking about her and hoped that she had a nice holiday. I sent her a holiday card and also a couple of notes in between. I just thought she might like to have someone write to get some mail.

A year later, I received a letter from her son, saying that his mom passed away a couple of weeks ago. He told me that my few little notes were enough to brighten a couple of her days here on the earth. Even though I never met this lady, but i did keep her and her family in my thoughts.

You and your friends should write a play, practice it and perform for your families. Make them pay something to see it and spend the money on something you couldn't afford to do before.

I am a great grandmother, but I do have a suggestion that I think could be fun for you. Go to your local library and volunteer to help with a kids reading program. They will love you for it and you will feel good. I worked in a small town library when I was in high school. I read all the Nancy Drew

books, The Bobsey Twins and other classic adventure stories, You will never forget this summer project.

65   He was known as one of the best horseback riders and best dancers in Virginia.
