Happy 50th Anniversary, Grandpa and Grandma!

I love that you always have plenty of  food (especially the cinnamon rolls). Grandma, you are a wonderful cook, and Grandpa, you are great at making me laugh. I love playing with you, and even if we don't watch Dragon Tales every morning any more, we still have lots of fun. Grandmas are for spoiling, and Grandpas are for helping the Grandmas spoil, and you have done great jobs  .Here is a story I made up (kind of) about you.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful young girl named Nelda. She lived in a simple cottage. One day, a dragon came to her house and was about to burn it up, when a brave knight, Bill, came out from nowhere and ran as fast as he could through the woods, dashing past trees, jumping over logs, and pushing past bushes and briars. The sound of galloping horses in the distance behind him were coming ever closer. Bill jumped over a fallen tree, and landed on a root, falling face down in the dirt.  Scrambling to get up, he noticed that his ankle was throbbing terribly. The horses were coming nearer.  Bill struggled up, only to fall  writhing in pain on the ground again. Suddenly he noticed that there was a young damsel in trouble only a couple yards away. Army-crawling through the brush, Bill finally reached the cottage just as the dragon stuck his claw through the window to skewer the damsel in distress. Using his last strength, he bravely jumped up and killed the dragon with his sword.  When Nelda saw how brave he was, she married him, and they had three children, and in time had seven beautiful grandchildren. (One of which was a very great writer.)

Happy 50th anniversary Grandpa and Grandma,you are wonderful Grandparents, and I hope you have a happy anniversary!
Lots of Love,
