Old Letter From McKay

(classic card from mckay on her mission, Nov. 2006)

Inside of this card pictured above, this is what mckay wrote:
"Oh Whitney, remember when we used to hang out?! Cause I don't. We both just HAD to serve The Lord, sheesh... But it is weird how quickly time moves, we will be old spinsters soon... I can't wait to be a spinster, eh?
I was thinking --> When my mind turns to thoughts of my future I picture myself living in a grass hut, I have to make it happen. Do you realize that our past 4 generations were born and then died in Utah?! -- and they call Toronto the melting pot because SO many different people have come to call this their home. I love the people of the world -- I have to see the wonders of the world! So yeah, I don't know why I write this, don't tell mom that I will raise her grandkids in hammocks in South America and she will never see them, eh?"

She used "eh" a lot because she was serving in Canada.

I loved running into this card last night! Especially with her Thailand/Cambodia trip coming up in less than a month! I'm glad she's making her dreams come true!

Also, McKay, I hope that this interpretive dance mentioned above has it's debut performance at the upcoming talent show. I guess I have 2.5 weeks to get some geometric shapes pulled together, Max has a fog machine.

  1. Whitney!
    I have no memory of this card! It made me so happy.

    I gotta start working on that dance.

  2. Why must my grandchildren be raised in the hammocks? Will they ever be free to roam about and experience the wonders of South America?

  3. Talent show? what talent show? There isn't no stinking talent show!

  4. There is a talent show, Dad, and it's only a secret for the people we don't want to come.

  5. I thought it was a secret talent show! And when I first read McKay's note I thought that's what she was preping for...I kept waiting for you to call back last night. Then I realized MY phone was off. It keeps flicking on and off and won't stay on long enough to make a call. I need to fix it. I'll call soon.

  6. Everyone is invited to the talent show, just bring a talent. It's not a surprise to Whitney... Just your talents are!
