The grace one see's outside their door. Is beauty you can't buy at the store. The personal touch and sentiment. Is truly Godly and heaven sent.

I would love to see all these sights in my backyard, Doris, especially Wayne's flower beds. I bet the soil in your area is rich to support those "precious flowers." Very nice dedication, dear. Love, Carolyn
