Dear Volvo,
Thank you for passing the buck in 2003 when you installed climate control in the 'S' series sedan. Because I am aware that it takes at least 15 minutes in the summer to reach a temperature viable for human life, you force me to enjoy the pleasure of driving with the windows open. Without your foresight, I would scarce be likely to know what local bug culture tastes like from the months of May-September.
Fondly,
Ellie
P.S. Bless your cold Swedish hearts for remembering to put in a sunroof.

Dear Ice Cream Man,
Thank you for being willing to drive in an open air truck selling overpriced ice cream in this heat. Your tinny music reminds me of a very happy childhood and wiping my sticky fingers on the inside of my socks after a particularly melty Screwball. The gum at the bottom was never very good but boy, was it ever like finding gold!Regards,
Ellie

Dear LG Technology,
Thank you for making a durable phone with an easily removable battery. It is the perfect "toy that is not a toy" for handsy babies. Not only do I not have to worry about the little scamp making accidental calls to Taiwan, the tough plastic coating withstands being chewed and drooled upon. Gnaw away, little buddy. I am one happy babysitter.
All the best,
Ellie

Dear Guy Who Invented the Modern Bicycle,I would be more personal if I weren't too tired to search out your real name on Wikipedia. Notwithstanding, I'm a huge fan of your work. What a pleasing and environmentally friendly mode of transportation.
Yours,
Ellie

Dear Ellie,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sending a breath of fresh air with your blog. I sure beats smog.

Dear Ellie,
ReplyDeleteI missed a t in my thank you note. That made me think it would be nice to sit down with you over a cuppa and shoot the breeze. But that might be counterproductive in a fan club.
Hoping to see you soon in a more conventional setting (with iced t?).
Your fan,
Maureen
