L,
Last week Sunday afternoon; I saw, Charlie, Dan and Samantha standing in the backyard by the bird feeder talking to each other. When they saw me sitting in my wheelchair watching them, they came over came over to the patio doors. They asked if I had heard the news about Harry and Tom. I told them I had company visiting and hadn’t seen Harry and Tom recently. Charlie told me that Harry and Tom were planning on going on a long vacation and may not come back for a couple weeks. Dan said Harry had told him they were going to California to visit their sisters Henrietta and Thelma. Samantha told me that Tom had said they would go either by a train or they would fly in an airplane to California. Have you ever been in a train or in an airplane?
On Monday, after I had a soup and salad lunch with a bright red apple for dessert, Tom knocked on the front door. When I opened the door, Tom told me they would be gone for a couple weeks visiting their sisters. I asked how they were going to travel to California. Tom said he wanted to fly in an airplane, however Harry wanted to take a train. Tom told me that after he and Harry talked about which to take they, decided to take the train this time and maybe take an airplane the next time. After telling me that, Tom said he had to hurry back to their underground house because he and Harry were busy getting ready for the vacation.
Tuesday morning I saw Harry and Tom take their red wagon, walk around the side of my house, and go down the road toward town. Later that day I saw them coming back from town with the wagon full of bags. When they came closer to the house, I could see that the bags were all different kind of birdseed food. I watched them go to the back yard where they met Charlie the cougar. Charlie took the handle of the red wagon and pulled the wagon to his house. When I went to bed that night, I was still wondering why Charlie had Harry and Tom’s red wagon. I also wondered what he was going to do with all the birdseed.
All day Wednesday, whenever I looked out the window at their house, I didn’t see either Harry or Tom. After lunch, I took a nap and when I woke up from my nap, I saw Dan, Charlie, and Samantha by the bird feeder. I opened the door and asked them if Harry and Tom had left for California. Samantha told me that they hadn’t left yet. She also told me that Harry and Tom had been busy all day cleaning their house.
Thursday afternoon, the three friends Dan, Charlie, and Samantha knocked on the back door. I asked them to come in for some cookies and hot chocolate. When we each had a cup of hot chocolate and a cookie, they told me how they would all be busy when Harry and Tom were gone. Dan said Tom had asked him to get their mail each day and bring it down stairs to their underground house and put the mail in the box at the bottom of the fire pole. Charlie said Harry asked him to keep the bird feeder filled with birdseed. Now I know why Charlie had the red wagon. It was to help him carry the birdseed to the birdfeeder. Samantha said Harry and Tom had asked her to watch all the plants in their house and to give them water when they needed some.
Late Friday afternoon, Harry and Tom called me on the telephone to say they wanted to bring supper. I said that I would like that and asked them what they would bring for supper. Harry said that I would have to wait and see because it was to be a surprise. After the surprise supper, Harry and Tom told me that they would take a taxi to the train station the next day. If you were Harry and Tom what would you fix for a surprise supper?
Early Saturday morning, a bright green taxi parked in the front of the house. As I watched, Harry and Tom came from their house. Dan, Charlie, and Samantha met them by the taxi to say goodbye and to tell them to enjoy their vacation. Harry and Tom put their suitcases in the trunk of the taxi and got in the back seat. As the taxi drove down the street, Harry and Tom turned to wave goodbye to me.
Can you draw a picture of the taxicab? Do you think you can draw a train? What color would you make the train?
Until next time,

Harry and Tom go sledding
L,
Well Harry and Tom slept late most days these past two week. I think they were tired from being so busy getting ready for Christmas. However, after lunch, I would see them walking down the street pulling their new sleds. I think they were on their way to the sledding hill in the park. One day they stopped and asked me if I would go sledding with them. I told them it is hard for me to go sledding because of my wheel chair. They told me they going to the store to buy balloons and others things for a party. They said that after lunch, after they returned from the store, they would take me sledding. When I asked them how they would do that with me being in the wheel chair, they said it would be a surprise. I was so excited I wanted lunchtime to hurry and get here so I could see how Harry and Tom would take the wheel chair with me in it sledding. How do you think they planned on taking me sledding?
I was so excited I could hardly eat my lunch of red tomato soup and brown bread with purple grape jam and a yellow apple. After lunch, I put on my coat, hat, mittens and wrapping a long scarf around my neck I rolled down the ramp and out the garage. I waited by the front of the house for Harry and Tom. Soon I saw them walking around the corner of the house pulling their new sleds. They came up to me and Harry and Tom picked me up out of my wheel chair and put in their orange sled. Harry and Tom each took hold of the rope and pulling the sled I was in walked down the street towards the park. I held the rope pulling the purple sled behind me.
When we arrived at the park, they pulled me up the sledding hill and down the hill I went. When I got to the bottom I saw Harry and Tom sledding down the hill in the other sled after me. After an hour of sledding we were getting cold so we went to the refreshment area and had some hot chocolate and cookies. What type of cookies do you like with hot chocolate?
While we were drinking hot chocolate and eating our cookies I looked back up the sledding hill. I saw Charlie the cougar, Dan the Deer and Samantha the squirrel sledding down the hill together in a large sled. When Charlie, Dan, and Samantha saw us they came to the refreshment area and had some hot apple juice and cookies. The six of us stayed in the refreshment area until we had warmed up. We spend the rest of the afternoon racing each other down the sledding hill.
Late in the afternoon the six of us went home. We all were cold and wet from all the snow. I was glad Harry and Tom were such good friends and had been able to come up with a way to take me sledding. When we got home I asked the five friends to come in for supper. I made red tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches with yellow cheese. Do want to get some paper and draw a picture of the six friends coming home after sledding. Or would you want to draw a picture of them sledding down the hill.
Until next time,

Harry and Tom's Christmas
L,
Well yesterday was Christmas. Harry and Tom were busy all week last week. They continued to bake Christmas cookies and cakes. One night last week when I was already in bed, I heard someone on the front lawn singing Christmas Carols. I got out of bed and put on my robe, got into my wheelchair and went to the front door. Who do you think I saw when I opened the front door? Standing in the front lawn were Harry, Tom, Dan the deer, Charlie the cougar, and Samantha the squirrel. They told me that they were going around neighborhood singing at each house.
The five friends look cold so I asked them if they wanted to come in and have some hot chocolate and cookies that my mom had baked. They said that they had a fire burning by Harry and Tom’s house and asked me if I would like to come with them and have hot apple juice and some of the cookies that Harry and Tom had baked. I said yes and asked them to come in while I changed my pajamas and put on warm clothes and a coat, mittens, and a hat. After I was ready, we all went down the ramp, out the garage, and around the corner of the house to the back yard. Harry and Tom had their outdoor Christmas tree’s lights turned on and a nice warm fire burning. Harry and Tom served us nice hot apple juice. They also had Hazelnut honey cookies shaped like stars and Christmas trees. They also gave each of us a piece of warm apple cake with a candy rain deer frosting.
When I talked to Harry and Tom last night, they told me that they both received new coats, mittens, and hats from their mom and dad from Florida. Their sisters, Henrietta and Thelma who live in California sent them a new red wagon and two sleds to use in the snow. One of the sleds was purple and the other one was orange.
I told Harry and Tom that I had seen Dan, Charlie, and Samantha walking to their house early Christmas morning. They told me that they had invited them to spend Christmas day with them. I think they made waffles for breakfast and after that they opened the presents they had given each other. Late in the day they had a special dinner for Christmas.
What presents do you think the five friends gave each other? If you were to make Harry and Tom a special Christmas dinner, what would you make for them? Do you think you can draw and color a picture of Harry and Tom’s new sleds.
Until next time,
