Publisher's holiday


We're writing books today. Grandma Kathleen figured out that if you staple some blank pages together it makes it ever so much more interesting to write stories in them. Emily filled three volumes, mostly illustrations. Very creative. Then she asked Grandpa to read the new books back to her. That got to be quite creative too but fortunately he was corrected on the spot when he misread or misunderstood something.

Stan's fellow publisher Steve Messick called from his office in Red Wing today, interrupting the book review session. Stan worked with Steve for at least 20 years before Stan retired. Steve's a new grandpa, he reports with some pride. Samuel Messick is four months old now. Steve promises to send a link to some photos. Standby.
