The "Real, Original Teti" Olga!

This is Mommy's Teti Olga.  She is the original Teti and she is fabulous!  Isn't she beautiful?  She's like 85!!  Look at her!  Teti was very adventurous throughout her life.  Mommy thinks that I (Lilly) will be much like her Babi and that Anna will be much like her Teti and that our relationship is already pretty similar to the stories we hear. 
Teti Olga lives way out in Oregon which is a beautiful, magical place.  Mommy got to visit Teti once when she was in third grade and she went with Babi and it was one of the best trips of her childhood!  She saw Mt Hood - her first real mountain, she went fishin', hikin' and caught the "living out West" bug and so she did for four and a half glorious years after college.  If only it weren't so far...
Anyway Mommy loves Teti so much, and Teti found some letters Mama wrote her when she was a little girl. 
For your reading enjoyment:
"Dear Teti,
How are you?  I really miss you!  Maybe next summer I can visit your house.  I play the flute now.  It's easy and fun.  when I visit again I'll bring it.  Thank you very much for the photo album (of my trip).  It does come in handy!  I like that heart shaped music box too.  Once we had a babysitter named Chris Wagner, I had my music box on and he said, 'How'd you do that?' and instead of saying, 'Just push this' I said, 'Look into the mirror.  If you are brave, fearless, handsome and kind it will play.'  Nothing happened!  Ha!  I embarrassed him!  That was my lucky night!  For Halloween I might be a bride.  Mom wants me to be a gypsy or a karate person.  Forget those ideas.  I might also want to be some moocho richo lady!  I love you lots!  Hope to see you soon!
Love,
Krissy"
And Mommy still dreams of being some moocho richo lady - keep dreamin' Mama!
Love,
Lilly, Anna and Jack
