We recently had a baby and she a.) decorated our door before we got home from the hospital; b.) remembered his 1 month birthday and brought him a birthday balloon on the EXACT day; c.) remembered his 6 month birthday (again, to the exact day) and treated him to another little gift! Who else does that?! She's awesome and we're lucky to know her and have her for a neighbor. p.s. my thank you notes for these thoughtful gestures were very tardy...hope she forgives me.Amy Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434487743676234600.post-56522185390810187122010-10-04T20:36:19.876-04:002010-10-04T20:36:19.876-04:00Even if we don't have time to do any of the ot...Even if we don't have time to do any of the other 20 things on the list, Allison's idea about thank you notes is spot on. A prompt and thoughtful thank you note is an old-fashioned tradition well worth keeping. Think how nice it is to get personal mail, showing appreciation (!) among the bills and catalogs and junk. Speaking of writing, thanks Pamela for all of your fun and interesting posts!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434487743676234600.post-76090181680868180752010-10-04T13:48:39.108-04:002010-10-04T13:48:39.108-04:00Hmmm...I WISH I did these things :-)Hmmm...I WISH I did these things :-)QueenoftheFallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16543940523490225197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434487743676234600.post-3373463149711873012010-10-04T10:39:21.157-04:002010-10-04T10:39:21.157-04:00Thanks for highlighting this awesome woman!
