Petra, who lives in China, is five. She is beginning to read, write and learn her phonetics. With that in mind, see the following message Gramma Joan received from Petra today together with photo of herself to punctuate the point:
Happy. Mother s. Day
I. Love. You Vae. Mah
You ar. Mie. Vavrite
You. Love. Me. And. I. Love. You
Love Petra
Petra’s message made Joan’s heart swell.

*Children, when they are not worrying you to death, are OK. Grandchildren are a joy!
Hercules and the umpire. 
Happy Mother’s Day to Joan. The message from Petra surely brought a lot of Joy. I completely agree that grandchildren are the best!
Judge:
You are a very lucky man. Happy Mother’s Day to you & yours.
Robert
Thank you, Robert. I agree.
All the best.

I remember when you had your first date with Joan, and that you asked me where to take her for dinner. Who would have thought at that time that you’d be married with grandchildren!
Mary,
Not me, my friend.
All the best.

PS to others: Mary served as my law clerk most of the time when I was a Magistrate Judge.
