Each month they received their choice of my homemade cookies sent on the mail.

It may not be official but we all know you pretty well I think.<br /><br />I love your idea of every 25th day of the month gift of dinner and your time. <br /><br />The 25 gifts in a basket reminds me of the Sunshine Gift Basket for the sick, where every day for 30 days they can open one little gift. <br /><br />I think that it would be a great way to remember your grandparents to make enchiladas in memory of them on the 25th of November. <br /><br />Have a great week.<br />Hugs,<br />JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-52779194880358277562012-11-19T10:48:26.161-08:002012-11-19T10:48:26.161-08:00Those are such great ideas.

And your monthly dinner with your grandparents was a lovely tradition.<br /><br />I agree with trying to reach out to people in your own community, even with smile for the clerks at the store.<br /><br />The other day, I was on the phone with a customer service worker and he sounded so miserable with a cold. I told him it must be terrible to have to talk all day with such a bad cold, and he thanked me and said he was having a hard time. I told him to take good care of himself and that I hoped he felt better soon. He was so grateful - so often I treat those folks like robots! The personal, caring touch is always the best!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02647220453777040327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-19293930808256310152012-11-19T08:15:11.065-08:002012-11-19T08:15:11.065-08:00your gift of time - priceless...your gift of time - priceless...TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-40820251492037773432012-11-19T07:48:13.861-08:002012-11-19T07:48:13.861-08:00Kim, those are wonderful suggestions!
