The Letter
Dominique moved to Old Town because it was all he could afford. The problem was the mail, or lack of it, really. His Nana wrote to him, once a week. (He was her favorite grandson.) Only the letters weren’t always delivered.
Complaining to the post office did no good. Old Town, they shrugged, maybe your door is too hard to find?
I’ll make it easy to find, Dominique decided. He painted his door and entryway blue. The next week, he was rewarded to find a lavender-scented envelope with old, slanted handwriting waiting for him: a letter from his beloved Nana.

It's a long story ... 
You do what you gotta do – and you did well. 🙂
I love this very much.
Sweet.
Good plan and a gentle piece of prose.

A clever idea, and a lovely response to the photo.
I love the blue and then the lavender-scented envelope. Lovely!
Great choice to make it easier… love the instant reward.
Aww. Something nice and sweet and non-depressing this week. Thanks and thank and thank very much, Tresha!
Five out of five blue doors. 😉
Clever idea. I hope all his mail is delivered now. Good writing, Tresha. 🙂 — Suzanne
