25 January 2006--words of wisdom

Bruce's Gram is 89 years old today. She can still whip just about anyone at Rummy (her cards just happen to be in bigger print now than in years before), she sends lovely boxes full of cutout surprises for Laurel's cut and paste book, she is wonderfully sharp as a tack, and her social calendar is always fuller than my own. I should also mention that she and God are doing a grand job fighting stomach cancer. Speaking with her last night on the phone I was reminded of some words of wisdom I recently read on my daily calendar:

Lovely, complicated wrappings

Sheath the gift of one-day-more;

Breathless, I untie the package---

Never lived this day before.

Gloria Gaither

Happy Birthday Gram!!
