#5 A Healthy Treat
Sent the parents (Marilyn, Arlene, and Spencer) and good friend Heidi "hugs and quiches" gift cards from Whole Foods. A healthy treat in honor of my sweet grandmother.
Friday, November 23, 2012
A cherished friend made a contribution with a most genuine act of kindness, with artistic & inner beauty. It is a Special-Love-Wish-Heart-Friendship-Art-Happy-Box-for Jess<3. This will be a new vessel for my optimistic thoughts, special wishes, and the precious jewelry my grandmother passed down to me.
Thank you Kimi Werner for your tribute to my dear grandmother & for your continued treasured friendship.
Special thanks to Christy Werner and Erik Saavedra for the Gorilla Pod, making this photo of appreciation possible.
This is act #16 for Kimi's birthday :)

#4 Elsie's Zucchini Bread
My grandmother's neighbor Elsie used to bake us the most magical zucchini bread. It was moist & fluffy, spiced & walnutty, and served best warm & buttered. I would sneak little slices of it all day from grandma's kitchen. I tried my best to replicate it, but admittedly I still have quite a way to go. Friends, neighbors, co-workers, and classmates... I'll need your help eating and critiquing our way to recipe perfection.
#3 Mother Daughter Day of Beauty
Spent a luxurious day with my mother getting manicures, massages, and shopping for girlie frills. We also picked up healthy healing fruits and vegetables to make fresh juices and smoothies. So lovely to have mother daughter quality time.
#1&2 Seeds
The second set of seeds are for my dear friends Christy & Erik in Hawaii. They grow delicious vegetables in their garden.

I am so saddened at the loss of such a great and remarkable lady. She was so gentle and loving. She loved to play Euchre and Bingo! I remember the last time I played Euchre with Aunt June, it was with Aunt June, Aunt Patty and Aunt Rosie. It was one of the most special memories I will hold dear in my heart. My condolences to all of our cousins and family members. She will be missed. I will be thinking of her and all of you today here in CO. Love Wendy Holly and family...
