I'm honored to count myself among your many friends and blog readers as well.Without even meaning to be, Mary, you're an inspiration to me...to everyone, clearly! It's just too darn bad that hundreds and hundreds of miles separate us...... I'd love to spend some "real" time together, not just "online." What a lovely and beautiful tribute.<br />Thank you for such a beautiful gift of this blog! <br />xoxoxo<br />~ChrisChris https://www.blogger.com/profile/08164050250146561005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-8584757790648402242015-08-27T07:36:29.550-04:002015-08-27T07:36:29.550-04:00Thank you, friend :)Thank you, friend :)Mary @ Better Than Edenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409924891343767874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-10365793456677843492015-08-27T07:36:15.398-04:002015-08-27T07:36:15.398-04:00Thank you, Rebekah!
