Words to the Very Darling Dearest Nunu

Dear Nunu,

I have forgotten to talk to you about the snow here in Minneapolis. Firstly, it is important to wear boots and mittens, the boots are for walking about in the snow so deep that it is possible that your snowsuit is covered up to your knees. Then the mittens, I hope your mittens are as white as the snow so that the snowballs you make look even bigger. And lastly, the snowman. Snowmen are important. They are fun to play with and they will like playing with you if only you will find two pieces of coal for their eyes, and a carrot for their nose. AND a few small pieces of leftover coals for the smiling mouth. I think the coals are usually behind the barn. And you might have to have a playmate or two to help roll the snow into a very large ball for the head to sit on. I know you will have fun here in Minneapolis when you return next winter. And the snowman will want to stand right there in front of your Nana's very tall house on the corner of the street she lives on.

Hansel sends his love, and I send my love and kisses to you forever ...
