[Gatesedge] It ain't over yet...Yet Again....One More Thank You

[D. Vandever]

I've helped out with more events than I can count or remember.  However
there are only a few events in which the autocrat gave gifts to those who
helped out and even fewer where *every* person the autocrat could anticipate
was given a token to remember the event by and also to say *thank you*.
Evalune, your thoughtfulness is becoming legendary.  I finally got around to
cleaning up and putting away from the event and came across the package you
gave to me on my way out of the event.  "Hmmm..." I thought as my hands made
out the shape beneath the paper," .....feels like a mug.  Well, I can always
use one around here with all the coffee I drink."  Then a puzzled frown as I
saw the bowl of the mug first..."What the....????  Hearts?!?  I didn't think
I was all that much of a romantic but oh well...."  And then astonished and
delighted giggles as the handle became visible and the lips of that
absolutely ridiculous "smoochie" frog with her long lashes and nicely
painted nails stared up at me.  She is sitting right here filled with my 2nd
cup of coffee and I'm very sure it will rapidly become one of my favorite
gifts.   The thought you put into this was very special and you are a
special lady.  Vivat, Lady Evalune!
Thank you.

Dear God,  Help me to be the person
my dog thinks I am.  Amen
