Wow! Am I Impressed!

It is a really surprising feeling to drive down from Oregon and discover that there are so many wonderful people out there who have love in their hearts for a member of my family. To all of you who participated in the garage sale last weekend, I just wanted to say THANK YOU!

There were times when I had to fight back tears just thinking of all the love that was on display by so many wonderful folks.

So, in a nutshell, Thank You ALL!
