The doorbell rang, a box appeared, and I opened a sweet gift from my daughter.
Mary Shannon and I have had fun together creating wall hangings of succulents for her California garden. How very thoughtful of her to send a wreath of succulents as a Christmas gift to her Dad in North Carolina. I promise to do my best to care for it.
