L,
I’ve just received a telephone call from Harry and Tom. They called to tell me about the some of the things they had done with Henrietta and Thelma.
One day four bears drove to the beach in Henrietta and Thelma’s car. When they arrived at the beach they parked the car in the parking lot and they each took something down to the beach. Henrietta took the big purple umbrella. Thelma had the large beach blanket. Harry carried the huge red and green picnic basket. Tom had to use both hands to carry the cooler. They walked from the car to the beach. Once they got to the beach, Henrietta stuck the umbrella in the sand and opened it up. Thelma spread the blanket out in the shade from the umbrella. Harry and Tom put the picnic basket and the cooler under the umbrella and ran down the sandy beach into the ocean water. After swimming for a while they came back to the umbrella and lay down on the blanket.
As Harry and Tom lay under the umbrella, they heard the sound of an airplane. As the airplane flew closer, Henrietta and Thelma told Harry and Tom to come out from under the umbrella and look at the airplane. When they looked at the airplane, they saw that was pulling a sign. The airplane’s sign said, “WELCOME TO THE BEACH HARRY AND TOM”. All the people on the beach saw the sign and stood looking and pointing at the airplane. When some of the people around Henrietta and Thelma began asking who Harry and Tom were, Henrietta told them about Harry and Tom.
After the airplane left, the brother and sisters raced down to the water and had swimming races. When they grew tired of the swimming races, Thelma went back to their umbrella and returned with a beach ball. They played with the ball throwing it to each other. Sometime one of them would not catch the ball and would have to swim after it. By lunchtime they were both hungry and tired.
They swam back to the beach, walked on the sand to the big purple umbrella. Once there, they sat on the large beach blanket and opened the huge red and green picnic basket. Harry gave everyone a plate, a cup and napkins. Tom opened the cooler and asked who wanted pink lemon aid and who wanted yellow lemon aid. After everyone had something to drink, Harry handed everyone a peanut butter and honey sandwich. When they all were finished with their sandwiches, Henrietta opened the picnic basket and handed out apples.
After lunch when everything from lunch was cleaned up and put back into the huge red and green picnic basket they all took a nap. They were able to all lay on the large beach blanket that Thelma had carried from the car. When they woke up from their naps, they went down the beach close to the water and began to make a huge sandcastle. They spent the rest of the afternoon making the sandcastle. Finally it was time to go home so the four bears left the sandcastle. Do you think the sandcastle is still there? Can you draw a picture of the sandcastle?
Henrietta took the big purple umbrella. Thelma had the large beach blanket. Harry carried the huge red and green picnic basket. Tom using both hands carried the cooler. They walked from the beach to the car. After they put everything in the car and when each had their seatbelt on, Henrietta and Thelma said they had a surprise for Harry and Tom on the way home. Harry and Tom looked at each other and couldn’t guess what the surprise was. What do you think the surprise was?
The surprise was that they stopped at an Ice Cream store. When they went inside the store, there were so many different kinds of Ice Cream that it took Tom a long time to decide what type of ice cream to have. What is your favorite type of ice cream? What type of ice cream did Henrietta, Thelma and Harry have? What type of ice cream did Tom finally decide to have?
Do you think you could draw picture of a picnic on the beach? What color would you make the large beach blanket that Thelma had? Have you ever made a sandcastle? Maybe you could draw a picture of the four sisters and brother making their sandcastle.
Until next time,

Harry and Tom Arrive in California
L,
Today I received a letter from Tom telling me more about their vacation. Even though the sun was shinning, it was cold outside; I put on my black coat, mittens and gray hat. I drove my purple wheel chair as fast as I could down the ramp and around the side of the house. However when I got to the back yard, I could not find Dan, Charlie or Samantha. There was a red Cardinal on the bird feeder. When I her if she had seen the three friends, she told me they had gone to the store. I thanked her and went back into the house to wait for the three friend’s return.
Just before lunch, I saw them walking down the street carrying bags of groceries. When they reached the house, I asked if they wanted to come for lunch. Samantha said they had talked about making a surprise picnic lunch for me. When they came in side, I had the old red blanket spread out on the living room floor. After the four of us sat down, Dan reached into the large brown picnic basket and took out red cups, yellow plates, and green and blue napkins. Charlie took out the sandwiches. There were round sandwiches, square sandwiches, and sandwiches that looked like triangles. Each different shaped sandwich was different. One was peanut butter, one was cheese, and one was lunchmeat. Next Samantha poured each of us a glass of red milk.
Once we all were ready, I opened Tom’s letter and began to read.
As we ate our different shaped sandwiches, we talked about Harry and Tom’s train ride. We wondered what they would be doing tomorrow. What do you think they will do? Can you draw a picture of Henrietta and Thelma’s car? What color would you make their car? What color flowers would you put on their car? Do you know how to make red milk?

Dear Pippy,
What fun we are having riding on a train. Harry and I spend a lot of time looking out the window at the mountains. We wish you were with us so that you could see the tall mountains. Some of the mountains are covered in snow and are so tall that their tops are hiding behind the clouds.
We traveled all day; Harry and I played games, read books, and looked out the windows some more. After supper on we went for a walk from the first car to the last car of the train. We spent a second night sleeping on the train. The next morning, after breakfast we went back to our room and waited until the train arrived at the train station.
When Harry and I walked down the steps of the train we saw Henrietta and Thelma. They were holding a big sign over their heads. Can you guess what the sign said? It said, “WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA HARRY AND TOM.” Can you guess what color the sign was? What color would you make the sign?
We all talked at once. Harry and I were busy telling Henrietta and Thelma all about the train ride. Henrietta and Thelma were busy telling us about all the fun things we would be doing. As we talked we walked to the girls car. It didn’t have a top and they had painted flowers on the side of it. When we asked them what they did when it rained, they told us that top was just folded down and they could put it back up when it rained.
Henrietta drove us home and Thelma showed us the room we would be staying in. After lunch Henrietta, Thelma and Harry took a nap. I wasn’t tired and wanted to write this letter.
I wish you could be here with us. I really miss you, Dan, Charlie, and Samantha. Please read this letter them for us.
Your friends,
Tom and Harry

Harry and Tom Take the Train to California
L,
Yesterday afternoon, Dan came to the front door with my mail. He was all excited because I had received a letter from Harry and Tom. I told him that I would cut up some red apples and some yellow cheese. I asked him to hurry and ask Charlie and Samantha to come for a snack and we would read Harry ant Tom’s letter together. When the three friends returned, we sat around the kitchen table and had the apples and cheese for a snack. After the snack, we opened the letter and read it. Here is what Harry and Tom wrote.
Well, Charlie, Dan, and Samantha were happy to get this letter. We wondered what color the train is. What color did you make the train the train is? Can you draw a picture of the children waiting for the school bus?
Until next time,

When the three friends returned, we sat around the kitchen table and had the apples and cheese for a snack. After the snack, we opened the letter and read it. Here is what Harry and Tom wrote.
Dear Pippy,
As you know we took a bright green taxi to the train station. It took a long time to go from our house to the train station. When we arrived at the train station, while I our suitcases out of the trunk of the bright green taxi, Tom paid the taxi driver. After the bright green taxi drove away, we walked into the train station. The train station was very large and very noisy. There were a lot of people walking around and sitting on the benches. Tom and I didn’t know where we should go to get on the train. We walked around until we saw a policewoman. Tom said I should ask her where we should go to get on the train. She asked me if we had bought our train tickets. I didn’t know and said I would have to ask Tom. When Tom said he had not bought the train tickets yet, the policewoman showed us where to buy the tickets.
After we bought the train tickets, Tom and I picked up our suitcases and followed the policewoman to the train. When we got to the train, she told the conductor we were going to visit our sisters who lived in California. The conductor showed us where our room was. Because, we both were tired after the long taxi trip, the busy time getting the train tickets and finding our room on the train, we decided to take naps.
When we woke up the train had left the station and was going down the tracks toward California. Tom and I left our room and walked through the train until we came to the dinning car. We sat at a table by a window. As we ate our supper, we looked out the window and watched the scenery go by. After supper we walked through the entire train. As we walked, we stopped and talked to some of the other people on the train.
The next morning, we sat at the same table and had breakfast. I had oatmeal with raisins and honey. Tom had blueberry pancakes with maple syrup. I looked out the window and saw children standing waiting for the school bus. When I waved to the children, they waved back. I wondered what they had for breakfast. What did you have for breakfast this morning. Can you draw a picture of your breakfast?
After breakfast, Tom looked at a book about the train and I wrote you this letter. The conductor said if I give him this letter, he will mail it to you. Tom said to tell you he plans to write you the next letter. Be sure to read this letter to Dan, Charlie and Samantha.
Your friends,
Harry and Tom
Well, Charlie, Dan, and Samantha were happy to get this letter. We wondered what color the train is. What color did you make the train the train is? Can you draw a picture of the children waiting for the school bus?

Harry and Tom get ready for Vacation
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?

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,
GrandPippy

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,
