TO: grand-daughter Iril Kolle ..Y'all get any snow in Norway yet, Iril? 
<just kidding> lisa
...that waz from lil'lisa, who help'd' fix-up yer computer U' left here, 
when ya moved to Norway ...Debi in England, also'sent'ya a message 2, which 
Gramps has memorized "hi iril..its groovy in london..why don't you come 
over here for a visit ..see ya"

OK NOW! ...This'B'yer'gramps'in'Canada writin t'ya Iril, on yer computer 
..we'got'er'run'in-A'gain, n'R'fixin-it-up ..It's hard to find parts for 
Commadork-64 machines, so Johnny'B'Good replaced every-thing inside th'iron 
box, new TV to look at 2, but there are no channels to watch in the woods 
here, so we kain't watch nuttin, nohow.  Somehow, the kids can load up 
checkers 4'gramps to play, and this keeps me happy all day.  I cain't 
figure out tho' how th'machine can be so smart ...yer'Gramps heaven't won a 
game yet?

Now ..."just'a'quick-note" from yer ole Can'uky-gramps ...(girls ..pass 
me'ma'pipe)... I NEED TO THINK?
wanna'tell'ya IRIL-KIN, I'm gonna Pub'yer'note U'sent me by computer 
(see'it'below) er'gonna'try'to? ..goin into sum kinda 
list'server-thingy.  Yep ..Johnny fixed up yer puter, and notes "come-on" 
from the whole world now?
..with help <and maybe wit'some good'wire'connect'shions & luck?> ..U'gonna 
be'fix'd'up :=> real good! With'whatever'kinda'flower'seeds U-needs & 
yen-to-have? ..including our'buds in'Japan!  ..yesiree ...Gramps gonna 
fixit ..if he can ..sumhow!!!
             ..and AH'hopes U'don't'mind me'makin these 
checker's-puter-moves, on yer behalf?  ..N'Sorry! ...if u don't approve? 
(cuz my word-power is not'up'to'par with fancy word-throwin styles like 
some) --->>  Am just tryin to help save U some time & hard-work collecting 
seeds, fer all them other folks U'be sendin em too? SHUCKS 
..in'most'of'World I talks to, more seed is put on their'manure'piles, than 
anyone might ever need  -- so who knows, maybe we rescue some seeds fer ur 
U & friends?

BTW IRIL in NORWAY? ...u'have'ur' ski's wax'd-up yet? ..(I'm just be'n 
funny? ..u don't listen t'gramps nohow!)

love t'u'in'NO
