JON! You wrote words!! I was in a baking zone-out and missed the Gina message. WAY TO GO JON! hugs

And they are excellent words too!

Thank you. I have to agree. They are excellent words indeed, and I hope I arranged them into an acceptable pattern!

Thank you--it's a struggle as you know. I saw your baking post. Looks yummy!

This is a lovely story, @jonknight! It’s very heartwarming!

Thank you! Mama Lacie tried her best before she died to give me several acres of land, as her father had done for her decades earlier. I grew up watching the disdain her brothers and sisters had for her becuase of that, and I had to turn it down. And seriously, she was the gift.

Hi, Jon!

I love happy endings...

Merry Christmas! :D

Merry Christmas!

When I was younger, it was a hard lesson for me to learn. I felt so much that I did not deserve anything and did not feel right accepting gifts. My first stepmother taught me that the real gift is for the giver when they get to feel the elation of making a difference in someone else's life.

Exactly! My grandmothre repeated that to me many times while I was growing up.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!!! I've given you an upvote and left you this amazing automated comment!!!!
