HELLO DEAR READERS

This first September newsletter has a special welcome for all our U.S.A. readers, who are first to celebrate Grandparents Day on September 7th.

For this 30th Anniversary of the founding of Grandparents Day, Granny Look hopes this letter will also be interesting to other readers - see what's happening States-side and get some ideas for when it's your day! There is a special song entitled "A Song for Grandma and Grandpa" by Johnny Prill and the flower for this special day, naturally, is a Forget-Me-Not - so a challenge for all you grandchildren out there - find a forget-me-not for your grandmas and grandpas!
