Dear Grandma,

Thank you so much! I was thrilled when your parcel arrived, and even more thrilled when I opened it. A pair of cross-country skis is just what I needed. I have used them already; my friend Léa and I spent a week out on the trails near Canmore, Alberta. We just got back yesterday. I was going to borrow Dad's old skis, but they are far too long for me and getting pretty worn out, so your gift came at the perfect time.
