Dear Baby, It’s hard to know how to begin this letter, because I’ve never writ ten one like it before But a new year, 1995, is starting and with it, a whole new adventure for us—so this seems like a perfect time. In one of her recent letters, your mother wrote that she and your daddy have begun writing in a spe cial book their thoughts about you and your arrival next spring . She requested a little note from us to include in this journal about you, which they plan to give you when you become an adult. First of all. Grandpa and landI — and your Grandpa Skip and Grandma Maryann, too —are thrilled about you. After all, you will be the first grandchild for both GOOD FOOD OUTLET STORES See Our Original Line Of Golden Barrel Products Plus All Kinds Of Beans, Candies, Dried Fruit, Snack Mixes, Etc.

Our one concern about your coming into the world is that you and your mom and dad live so far away from all of us that we won’t get to share you nearly enough. Your mom does plan to bring you back for a long visit next summer and we’re already looking forward to that. We do realize that you’ll be a little young yet to go out to play with the cats and the calves. Like most grandparents, we have lots of hopes and wishes for you and your future. Most of them you will appreciate most after you grow up and have your own chil dren —this is the usual grownup, boring stuff. First of all, we wish you a happy and safe childhood.

It begins with having two parents who love each other as much as they love you, and you already have that good start for your life. Because they love you, your mom and dad will sometimes make you very happy and sometimes make you very angry as they teach you to be a responsible person. We also wish you the love of learning and the thirst for books that your mom and dad both have, since reading is a very foundation skill for a suc cessful life. We wish you a sense of enthu siasm. We hope you will grow up with a curiosity that makes you eager to try new things, investigate new places and meet new people. It’s a big, wonderful world out here, with so much to experience. But, we hope you’ll find time to explore and enjoy the little things as well: birds and butterflies, flow ers, walks in the woods, poking around in streams and finding shapes in clouds floating against a blue sky. And we wish that you keep that curiosity all through your life. * FUNNEL CAKE MIX * PANCAKE * WAFFLE MIX * ASSORTMENT OF CANDIES ★ DRIED FRUIT ★ SNACK MIXES ★ BEANS ★ HONEY ★ PEANUT BUTTER ★ BAUMAN APPLE BUTTERS * KAUFFMAN PRESERVES ★ SPRING GLEN RELISHES SPECIALS FOR DECEMBER MAPLE SYRUP 16 Ounce Reg. $4.69 now $4.49 GOLDEN BARREL PANCAKE ft WAFFLE MIX 3 Lbs.

Most deci sions you will face in your early years will have simple “Yes” or “No” answers, but as you grow older, there will be a lot of “May be’s,” “What If’s?” and “Why not’s?” And along with that, we wish you the ability to control the anger that all people have within them, and that you will learn to apply it wisely and only when truly necessary. We wish you a sense of com passion for others. Only by help ing others, in whatever direction your life works out, can you truly be happy within yourself. Every Family Must Have this Magazine!

Your parents will begin guiding you in that direction from the day you are born, but it will be within your own heart to decide how you act upon that.
