GOT A MINUTE OR TWO

There are a few trees beginning to bloom and a nice gentleman took this so we could have one together. If the day couldn't get any better ~ it did!  I was reading a dear friend Martha's blog post about her "sneaky random act of kindness."  Just then the mail lady called my name, and told me I had a package.  When I saw the return address was NY and Martha...I'm sure my jaw dropped to  my knees.  Is that a coincident.  NO I think that was ...
