Oh that's to bad, then make up something old and sentimental, like it was the last block your great grandmother made. I have a doilley that my sister's MIL made. She died about 10 years ago at age 92, so who knows how old this is. But I am going to put it on the Dresden plate I made from Rhonda's blocks. Don't know yet if I'll frame it, or give it to my sister. Those old things are just so sentimental no matter who makes them.

He may not have had anybody to really listen to him speak in a long time. You were meant to be there.

It's beautiful, and so is the frame it came in. Kindness comes back around.

I knew there was something special about you, and you just proved it. I wish you lived next door to me, and we could chat. I could share my stash with you!! Thank you for being kind to the old man. He evidently needed that bit of attention and you were an angel to him. (and got a reward too) Bless you, dear one.
