Surprise in the mail!




Last Spring, one of Sarah's assignments for school was to write a favorite author. We included a self addressed stamped envelope in case the author wanted to write back. Sarah chose to write Mary Pope Osborne (Magic Treehouse Series). In a box we just received from my mother, we found a reply to Sarah's letter! Needless to say, she was very excited. Now we're wondering if Benjamin's author will reply...

How neat! I love to contact authors, musicians actors and artists when something they do touches me our my family.

Earlier this year, I contacted the creator (and actor) of a show that my daughter watches. She sent back the kindest email!

Just last week, I emailed a musician thanking his "handlers" for the lightening fast shipping on a Christmas CD. I included this post from my blog to let them know how much we enjoyed the "band" when it was in our town. Much to my surprise, the artist sent me a personal email back!

I just love it when a "celebrity" take the time for their fans. It makes me want to support them even more! (Plus I love teaching Ali that she needs to tell people when they have done something good. She loves to receive praise, so I want her to know that she should give praise when it is due!)

Sorry for rambling...who did Benjamin write to?

What a wonderful surprise indeed! I am so glad that Sarah loves to read...so does her Mimmie.

Love to you and all.
