GIFTS


I deleted a previous post because Papa didn't like it. No, he doesn't censor my blog. He just felt it wasn't me... that it wasn't the way I ranted. Maybe, maybe not. At any rate, I thought it wasn't in keeping with another previous post whose general message was that of gratitude. Ergo.

To continue with the grateful feeling, I'm posting instead pictures of gifts that came to me while vacationing in the Phils.



... a greeting card from Kengkeng, a custom-made paperweight from Belle, and a copy of the O. Henry Prize Stories from cbs



Belle inscripted the paperweight with a haiku she wrote just for me



this is so typical of Kengkeng... he never forgets and his cards always delight me



this gift has honored me, coming from someone I consider my sage of sorts

In Gaelic, they say, 'Chaneil facal agam dhuibh ach teing.'

I have no words to say to you but thanks.
