Those are seed packets of forget-me-nots. I opened that card Saturday when we got back home and just lost it. Julia, you sweetheart! Your card couldn't have been more perfect.
And yesterday, from my dear friend Allison and her family, a comfort-food picnic filled with love and LEMON SQUARES! (my all-time favorite dessert/cookie food):
Is that just gorgeous? Balm for the soul in so many ways.
When the mail came yesterday, Tom and I couldn't believe it. 87 cards arrived. EIGHTY-SEVEN. From you fabulous people. And thirteen of them came from New Jersey. I have exactly NO family in New Jersey. Allison, however, does, and it's clear that her loving nature and thoughtfulness is no anomaly in that group. Thank you, all of you.

Tia, it is really great to see how creative people are with showing you their love. I really enjoy reading your blog every day.
So very wonderful! It sounds like you guys have an absolutely fabulous community. Lemon squares are my fave, too.
I was one of the 13! New Jersey, small and caring. A friend passed Allison's note onto me, so glad i could help with just a little note....love and peace to you and your family!!! JANE WAS HERE!

If I am not mistaken you have family all around the world now thanks to your (our) girl Jane!
Greatful that you are able to fill your souls with the love that abounds for your family during this time of healing.
just goes to show how many lives, one special little one can touch in such a short amount of time. and she truly was special in every sense of the word.

Yes indeed, Tia, family all around the world. :)
