We always give to the Salvation Army because if it wasn't for them my hubby would not have had a Christmas most times when he was growing up. I popped by because I wanted to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I have really enjoyed getting to know you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538248.post-80997643534425593082009-12-20T15:10:54.187-05:002009-12-20T15:10:54.187-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538248.post-81977614997836499932009-12-19T22:31:25.012-05:002009-12-19T22:31:25.012-05:00Karen, what a lovely, lovely story about your moth...Karen, what a lovely, lovely story about your mother who is truly an inspiration.
