Dear Jack: Your First Time Serving as the Valet

14 years, 11 months.

Dear Jack,

Our entire family was involved in this past weekend’s grill out at Nonna and Papa’s house. Mommy and I planned and hosted it. Nonna and Papa allowed us to use their yard and playground as the event venue.

Uncle Andrew cooked all 80 burgers… and he let us use his golf cart to use as the taxi to usher the guests from the empty lot down the road where everyone parked.

And you served as the valet to drive everyone from their cars and back.

I could tell you took your job very seriously. You were attentive to make sure everyone was safe the entire time.

You served others and were very much an important part of making the event run smoothly!

Love,

Daddy

Dear Jack: Your New UTV “Side-By-Side”

14 years, 9 months.

Dear Jack,

It’s funny what you can order from Walmart’s website these days. When we were planning the move to Alabama back in late 2023, Mommy proposed the idea of our family getting a golf cart; since the neighborhood we now live in is adjacent to the golf course.

But once we got here, you realized that all your friends ride around in UTV’s (“utility task vehicle”), also known as a “side-by-side”.

Just a week or so after we ordered it from Walmart.com, a truck delivered our new side-by-side in front of our house.

I say “our” new side-by-side, but we all know it’s really yours. We’ve had a lot of fun already, simply exploring old trails near our house.

And I appreciate that you driving your side-by-side serves as great practice for you getting your driver’s permit here in a few months!

Love,

Daddy
