Goldilocks (??) and the Two Grandparents
A Tale of Kind Deeds
Once upon a time there was two kindly, gentle grandparents who lived deep in the Rock Forest of Boulder Lane. They had been called to work in the Temple so, one Wednesday Afternoon, they left their small home to perform their duties.
They had worked a full shift and were very tired. They could hardly wait to get back to their home and retire for the night.
AS they were nearing their humble abode, they traveled slowly down the Bumpy Road, and just as they were preparing to make the final turn onto the driveway, Grandma lurched forward in her seat and exclaimed, “Look at all of those Christmas lights!! Wait-- is that Our house that is all lit up?”
Grandpa wisely said, “Don’t look at me!! I didn’t do it—don’t blame me.”
They traveled further up the driveway and saw three brightly lighted reindeer feasting in the driveway. It seemed a little strange that they were eating gravel. Perhaps Santa had come a little early and forgotten three of his reindeer. Or, maybe they had just escaped from the North Pole.
Some lights were twinkling around the garage doors. The house and garage had lights all along the roof lines and the back door of the house. Grandma said, “Somebody has definitely been here.”
Grandpa wisely said, “Watch out!! They might be hiding in the bushes—just waiting to jump out and scare us.”
They parked their car in the garage and opened the door to the store room by the refrigerator. “Somebody has been riding my tricycle!” said Grandpa wisely.
Grandma said , “Somebody moved our picnic table”
They carefully opened the rear door to their house and saw the Nerf pop gun laying on the computer boxes. “Somebody has been shooting the Nerf Pop Gun!” said Grandpa wisely.
Grandma said, “Somebody has been writing on the bulletin board and drawing pictures!”
They entered the kitchen. Grandpa shouted (wisely, of course), “Somebody has been eating my candy!!”
Grandma said, “This picture says they love us and is signed DMAKHJA. Who could that be? I don’t recognize that name.”
Finally Grandma said, “Look, Keeley’s name is also on that picture. It must have been Matt and his family.”
Grandpa and Grandma were so pleased with the nice thing that Dad, Mom, Aubrie, Keeley, Henry, Jesse and Andee had done that they snuggled all snug in their bed and slept with smiles on their faces all night long. Grandma said, “That is the nicest Christmas Present ever.”
Grandpa wisely said ,”Yes dear—it surely is.”

Keeley is our soon to be 7 year old. She is a lot of fun, always laughing and dancing. She is in first grade this year and loves going to school all day long. At our family football games in the backyard, Keeley always wants to be the cheerleader. She loves being a girl and all of the frilly things that go with it. She also loves to collect things. For example her current collections include: rocks, shells, beads, broken crayons, cool pencils, and anyone's favorite cool toy that might be set aside for a moment too long. If anything is missing, Keeley's junk drawer or under her pillow are the first two places to look. Keeley is learning to like reading. She is getting better and recognizing more and more words. She loves to cook dinner with me but hates to set the table. She doesn't do well if told what to do or given no say in the matter. But if you give her a choice -- even if it is between practice the piano now or in five minutes-- she's happy.
