Some of life's changes are not easy to adjust to.<br /><br />With the minimalist movement afoot these days, it's hard to know for sure - when someone says they don't want presents - if they truly don't or if they are being polite.

Ya done good :)jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-52620585612898983642012-03-23T04:13:17.321-04:002012-03-23T04:13:17.321-04:00just a beautiful post; thank you so much! wishing ...just a beautiful post; thank you so much! wishing you both a world of love :)John Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16581629630595719250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-26934640245592953492012-03-23T01:17:30.837-04:002012-03-23T01:17:30.837-04:00Happy Birthday to C!
