A Thoughtful Gift
Just a couple of hours ago, I said goodbye to two of my daughters who are actually going on a wonderful vacation.

That is so sweet! I try to send small things to my two children who are away at college and always enjoy getting a note from them in the mail. I'm looking forward to getting my son and daughter back home today.
What thoughtful daughters! I hope they have a wonderful time on vacation!
You trained them well!
What a lovely lovely thing to do. I try to send little notes to my two who are away from home.
