Emma’s Postcard

It has a kangaroo on it.
I just sent my postcard off to Emma today, so I thought I’d share what I wrote to remind any of you that haven’t done it yet to get cracking!

Hi Emma! My name is Kristy and my Dad is your neighbour Ron Howard. I grew up in Indiana like you but now I live in Sydney, Australia, which is pretty far away! My Dad told me about your leg so I decided to get my friends all around the world to send you postcards too. I hope you get lots! Australia is a nice place to live but I sure do miss those Indiana summers. (Sweet corn is my favorite!) I hope you have a good 4th of July and your cast comes off soon. Hopefully I’ll get to meet you the next time I visit my Dad! Your friend, Kristy

Observations: I use a lot of exclamation points when addressing children. I also noticed as I was writing that I’ve mentally adopted the British/Australian spelling of “neighbour” but “favorite” remains American. Odd, that.

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
