That is very thoughtful...and that is a very pretty card. <br />I have just found your blog through HDene.

I know how that feels although my Mother died 3 years ago at the age of 93.

My ex mother-in-law bought gave them to me and her son as a wedding present. She is another one of those people who believe expensive presents are important. Her giving me knives was actually supposed to be an insult of sorts, lol, but they were definitely great knives.becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-54660287829431432752011-05-08T09:24:49.972-04:002011-05-08T09:24:49.972-04:00I think your views on presents are spot-on.

Your 22-year-old knives must be pretty good ones to have lasted that long! I'm sure you will put the new ones to good use.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.com
