Jessie, I just entered an entry and then somehow lost it. That sounds like grandma and her computer skills doesn't it? Yesterday was Christmas and the family played the gift exchange game that you enjoyed so much. Each person could keep their wrapped gift or take someone elses.You were trying to get a gift that you could give to your sisters.
you were always thinking of others before yourself. That was so like you, Jessie. You missed a terrible snowstorm yesterday or who knows you might...
