Title: Totally surprised
Post by: marmoh on August 18, 2011, 11:18:02 am
Gabby downloaded a cutting he just completed to the Brag forum.
I have to say I was shocked yesterday when it showed up at my house.  It was a token of his appreciation for something I did for him and I am honored to have it on my wall.  The cutting is well done and I love the pattern but the frame is indescribable.  To have a piece of wood that is approx. 80 years old is amazing.  The picture can?t tell how wonderful it feels to the touch and show the true grain of the wood.  I am honored and amazed by this gift.

To Gabby, and everyone else on this forum, I cannot express enough my gratitude for the friendship extended to me here.    Marion

Isn't FRIENDSHIP wonderful, even if we may never meet in person!

Now we should all start thinking about those wonderful gestures when the Christmas/Holiday ornament exchange gets rolling!

Caught ya talking behind my back ladies!   :o :o

Marion your feelings about the friendship on this forum is mirrored by my own.
You started it Lady Friend, aren't pay backs a b
Great?
Y'all thought I was gonna say something naughty didn't Ya?

Kidding around aside.

I've now had 2 very special people as mentors. I've never experienced such unselfish giving people as I've met here. All the joking and silly stuff aside I've never felt so humble as I have here on this forum of FRIENDS!
Thank you all for sharing your lives with me. That's the greatest gift you can give!
Gabby
