Thanks for the shampoo money!


This is about one fourth of the post cards, letters and post it notes that I got from daddy and mama when I was at college. While looking through some of the letters I found a five dollar bill that had a post it note on it that said this from daddy, "Here is some shampoo $. It sure was good to hear from you the other day. This sem. is just about over. You are just about a junior! I love you-stay focused. I'm proud of you, love daddy." It was those notes that kept me going. I am almost sure that I kept it in there so that I would find it years later. And I did!

Oh, those notes look just like the ones I received over ten years ago from Daddy during my college days. So sweet, Kristin. Yes, those encouraging things Daddy and Mama did kept me going as well.

So are you still going to use it for shampoo? :)

HA! I was just going to ask the same thing, Candace! Are you going to use it for shampoo??

No, we went and got ice cream with it. Right now, that is very special for us. Thanks Daddy for treating us to ice cream.

Dear Kristin,
i have been waiting for years on the proof of purchase of the shampoo.....i never received a receipt for the shampoo from you....this has messed up my bookkepping for years.....i will mark it down as being used for ice cream. OK now i can close the accounting records on you...thanks for clearing this up!!!!

Daddy, this is hilarious. I think you and Mama sent me enough "shampoo" money to pay for my whole school loan.
Mama, almost all of your letters that were sent to me started out, "Well, I have been sitting here at the kitchen table studying......".
