Hi Jade!

Jan 15

Have not talked to you since I last saw you just before I flew back to England.  I do keep an eye on you from afar, tracking your progress through your Dad.  Actually, he is a hard man to find on the phone, probably because I keep bugging him to find out how you are doing.  Tomorrow I will call Brandy and bug her!  But still, it is not the same as being able to see you in person.  I miss you!  So what have you been up to?  Are you an expert at all those video games yet?  Bet you are.  Have you been back to the karate studio?  I took karate for a while.  So did your Dad.  He was pretty good as a matter of fact.  So was your Uncle Corey.  How are your sisters doing?  Tell them I miss them too!  It has snowed in England almost every day since I have been back.  But even with it snowing every day for a couple of weeks now, there is still less snow than we got in one day in Virginia.  Colder here too.  Freezing in fact.  Well, it’s 8:30 in the evening here which makes it 3:30 in your afternoon.  I am already done with dinner.  And by the way, I cooked it myself which means it was not very good.  Shish is the cook in the family.  I can barely boil water.  Oops!  I hit the wrong button, Jadie Poo, and this may have been put wherever it goes so you can read it before I was finished!  So before I goof again, I better close off this conversation.  But there will be more notes from me while I am here because I think about you all the time. You hang in there and remember that I love you bunches.  Grandpa Gene
