I'm making cookies for mine.

A note of thanks.

I gave mine a card that was originally blank and wrote about two main things she has helped me with and how they have impacted my life.

One of my office's clients owns a vineyard and gave my coworkers and I several bottles of wine. I'm keeping one for myself and gifting one to my T. She wouldn't accept anything that I paid for, and I'm pretty happy with that arrangement.

I love this whole post, but this line made me stop and catch my breath!

Maybe i should get her some biscuits that i make myself. that way part of me will be inside her.
