Re: Thanks for the Christmas presents and happy
Mother's Day! 

Dear Grandma, 

Today the Enterprise docked at Starbase R2 for routine
safety inspection, and imagine my surprise  when the
clerk there told me that I had a large package waiting
for me. Apparently, your Christmas  goodie box had
finally caught up with the ship, after six months of
bouncing all over known space.  It was nice to have
Christmas all over again, even though it's the
beginning of May back on Earth.  I can't thank you
enough for the chocolate mint cookies; they really
give me a taste of home. It's too bad you can't send
along some marshmallow salad too, but I can't even
imagine how that stuff would last six months of space
travel.  

Uhura loved the songbook you sent her. I don't think
she's ever learned any Swedish folk songs  before, so
it will be a real treat to hear what she does with
them. Thank goodness she's a communications  officer,
or she'd have no idea what any of the words meant!  

Dr. McCoy wanted me to thank you for the scarf. You
wouldn't know it from how far south they are,  but
those north Georgia mountains can get completely
snowed over in the wintertime. I'm sure he's  headed
straight there the first minute we're back at home,
and it'll help him keep comfortably  warm. (And he was
so flattered that you remembered his blue eyes!)    

Thank you for the sweater you made for me. Mom must
have told you I've put on a little weight. It'll  come
in handy if we ever go on shore leave someplace
chilly. I'll be sure to send you a picture of  how I
look wearing it. And the horse socks were just too
sweet.  

Grandma, I need to explain something to you. The
presents you sent for Spock were lovely, and we 
appreciate the gesture. The homemade nightdress was
beautiful, and the hat with the fake birds was 
certainly very unique!  I was especially touched by
your gift of the antique gold bracelet that your 
mother won at the church raffle. I know it has always
represented family to you, and Spock was very  moved.
But, as I think I've explained to you before (although
I could be wrong), Spock is  a man. I know it seems a
little out of the ordinary, but that's the way things
are. So needless to say, "that nice talented Vulcan
woman you married" and I aren't  expecting any
youngsters to be joining our family. We love the
stuffed moose anyway, and will keep  it for ourselves
as a reminder of your generosity and the family love I
miss so often.  

I hope you are doing well. Mom said that your flower
garden won a prize this spring. Congratulations!  I
bet Shira Myhr was jealous. Stay healthy and wink at
the stars for me! I'll be thinking of you.  

Fondly,  

Jimmy

"Jimmy?" A raised eyebrow.  

"It's these cookies, Spock. They make me feel like a
kid again. Computer, send message." Jim switched off
the viewscreen and turned around, then burst out
laughing. "Spock, take off that hat!"
