Hello Janice … I also notice that there is no ‘I’ in YOU, WE, or US. Wise words indeed Janice - Lindsay

This one is a keeper Janice. It is my opinion, that the most valuable gift one can give is their time. It is common for folks to donate material items but when they donate their time it becomes an investment. Are you enjoying the cooler weather? I hope you are well:)
