34. A gift above: The moon, the moon, the moon! When I was three I remember overhearing my fifteen year old brother ask, “What’s the baby doing sitting alone in the dark kitchen?” My mother replied, “Leave her alone. She likes the moon.” (Photo above found on earthsky.org.)
35. A gift below: Well, how about Robyn, my pen pal from “The Land Down Under” for the past 46 years?
36. A gift beside: That’s easy. It’s my Goddog, Ollie, who is snoozing peacefully between Ray and me after scarfing down his dinner.
Thirty-six gifts and counting…

Wonderful examples of these simple gifts and how nice to have a pen pal for 46 years! A sweet remembrance of your Mother's remark and what would life be if we didn't have our canine companions? xx
