One Story

Hallmark. Please. Stop the madness, will ya? Everytime I turn around there's an occasion to buy greeting cards. Sunday is Grandparent's Day. And I have no cards to give. But I do have a lovely poem by Wendell Berry called The Blue Robe. Enjoy! And have a happy grandparent's day!

thanks for reminding me of Grandparents day, I think I will have Will make a card. I don't buy cards, I put the money towards the gifts. Lovely poem.

I miss my grandparents. :( That was a great poem. By the way, I left you a blog award on my page, you really deserve it!

Why does September have to have Grandparent's Day? It's my birthday month, and it makes me feel like an old lady to be associated with Grandparent's Day!

Wow--I had forgotten! I meant to have the children make cards, and then I meant to buy a card, and now I will remember to call. Thanks!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that let grandparents day sneak up on them!

I didn't realize it was G-day yesterday -- how nice that my kids were with theirs. I love the poem choice.
