Well, except for some of your baking and that pop (you hid in the cupboard) that you said we couldn't eat or drink because it was "for when company comes".
I'm sure it was very frustrating when you'd find out...weeks later...when company did actually come over...that the cookies you baked or zucchini loaf was 1/2 eaten by ghosts.
Oops.
Sorry!
Aside from those coveted cookies or the Coca Cola (that we were never allowed to drink), you "gave it all away", shared everything you had, offered it up to all of us, always.
This week, I received the most thoughtful gift in the mail from an old friend, Kevin Spence. He sent me an amazing assortment of teas that he blended himself. Living in Vancouver, Kevin started a company called Planet Botanic Canada.
So, lastnight I made some of his tea, sharing it with company. Kevin's tea was incredible! The little tins and everything about this tea just makes you want to save it. Savour it. Keep it. Never actually drink it. Maybe just open the lid and smell it!
But it's not supposed to be kept in the cupboard. It's meant to be shared. Like most things. Shared. Given away. Experienced. And then remembered.
Kevin - thank you so much for sharing your gifts!!!!!!!!!!
Mom, I love you! Thank you for teaching me the value of sharing, of giving...and of hiding a little bag of cookies in the freezer where not even I can find them, even though I put them there!
Miss you,
Crystal
