I appreciate - everything, food included.
I really appreciate kind gestures and gifts of homemade goodies. The goodies are great - it is the people I get these from that are the Greatest.
Larry and Sandy Fixed me up in Tulsa with goodies. I have been saving and savoring these goodies. Just decided to open another jar of pickles is all.
Just like I saw a classmate's kid the other day on campus. She had to show me she still had the little metal pencil sharpener I gave her.
She found out she was going to hang with mom at the College.
"Will Steve be there?"
"Yes of course"
"Wait...wait..I forgot something".
Some people are special - the gifts are reminders of these people, what memories are made of.
She just was intrigued while her mom and I were outside studying. I produced a small metal hand held pencil sharpener. She was doing her studies, facinated with my metal sharper. Asked to see it and try it out. Sitting there being a lady, doing her homework... Said it made her homework answers "come out right the first time".
Bright eyes, big smile, and a hug later...well seems that sharpener followed her home.
I have more of these sharpeners , I was a kid once. I remember ...
