At the end of the day, I reached for my list and discovered Doris’ card lying in the passenger seat of the car. Apparently I had mailed my list instead of her card. Sigh! Now we have a wonderful letter carrier. When he has a day off, we notice. He goes above and beyond his regular duties. As good as he is I am quite sure should he receive my list, not even he would complete it for me.
Doris is such a thoughtful person. I don’t know that she has ever forgotten any occasion or been late with her well wishes. I felt badly about the possibility of her not receiving her card on time. That is- until she responded to my face book Happy Birthday wishes. Here we are, again, another cold, dark, dreary day and she emails it is a beautiful day in California. She thinks she will spend the day driving up the coast. Now that is just mean!
Seriously; have a wonderful birthday sis. I really do hope you enjoy your beautiful sunny drive up the coast today. Just think kind thoughts of us in the not so sunny south! I am sure you will let me know when you receive the card and/or the list!
"May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you."
1 Thessalonians 3:12

I also have a few birthdays in March, the most precious to me being that of my late husband. You are a thoughtful lady to make such a special effort for those whom you love.
Oh, by the way, I am Diane from the ScarfSisters. I don't think I have visited your place before and I am sorry for that. I have been very undependable over the past sevearl months. Grief had taken my legs from beneath me. I am thankful the Lord remains the Wind Beneath My Wings and has brought me through!
Many hugs.......
Diane
I read your blog but didn't see where to sign up to follow. What part of TN are you from? I grew up in Memphis...small world.
