This seemed like a wonderful opportunity to show off a few Gifts that I have received. This is by no means a catalog of the hundreds of gifts with which I have been showered recently. Just a few pictures from the files.
Otto and Kristin brought me this neat little purse from Thailand - just 4 x 4 1/4 inches, with a long over-the-shoulder cord. Not only is it just the right size for handkerchief, keys, credit card and lipstick, but it is also a decorative fashion accessory to brighten up a drab outfit or to blend with a brighter one.
This cute little dragon is one of my most recent gifts, a birthday gift from Granddaughter Myrtle.
Flowers make a gorgeous gift. This orchid plant from Candace and Clinton brightened my days as I lay flat on back last February.
My friend Frances Townes brought me this dragon all the way from China. He is scanned rather than photographed, thus the soles of his feet are showing as he reclines on the scanner.
95% of the dragons in my tall dragon case are gifts. This is the third shelf down where ALL of dragons are gifts - thank you, everybody.
Josie took this picture of me enjoying new gifts at our Smith family reunion last year. I am reading the birthday card (Otto and I were both celebrating August birthdays) that came with the beautiful dragon shawl I have just donned. It was a gift from daughter Candace and granddaughter Myrtle.

Gifts! Glorious gifts! Love the little dragon you recently got from your granddaughter. And the orchids are absolutely gorgeous. Happy ABC Wednesday. My post is up on my Gumbo YaYa blog. Cheers!
Gifts are nice. They are especially nice when it is something you wanted or needed and thought about getting for yourself.
