Dear T. J.
Grandpa and I are having a wonderful time in New York
City. Yesterday we took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty.
As we were eating our lunch near the statue, a seagull
swooped down and stole Grandpa's tomato sandwich
right out of his hand! We laughed while we watched him
gobble the whole thing. We took lots of photos to show
you.
Love ya, Buddy!
Grandma
