Mifflintown is a bit of a big deal in our household, since it's where I currently work, where I first took dance lessons at the Margaret McCann School of Dance (many eons ago...), where Freja now takes dance lessons, and where I often go when I take the kids to the library.
It's a really lovely little town in Juniata County, which - when not covered in ice and snow and the grey, grey cold that is currently smothering the area - tends to look like this:
I know, I know. It's lovely. It's full of farms and little towns and little shops and Amish and I love it.
ANYWAY...
Dani sent a wonderful letter to Freja (who was very excited to receive a letter from a place she's been to before).
Freja quickly grabbed her colored pencils and writing paper and began dictating her letter in response.
Dear Dani,
Thank you for your letter! I dance in Mifflintown! I play in Mifflintown, too! I like the library in Mifflintown! (Ola: I like the library, too!) I got "How To Train Your Dragon" there, and "Curious George". I like those books.
And I drew a princess for you!
Love, Freja
The princess.
So thank you, Dani, for your great letter! It was wonderful to hear from Mifflintown, which is a place that has been a part of our lives for over twenty years!
