Hello and thank you secret pal

Thank you so much for the beautiful rose paperweight. The book named and Roses. I have already started it and just had it an hour. The card means a lot to me. In fact I'll put your Irish saying here for everyone to enjoy. Thanks it made my day. Love, Miss Mary

May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live!

May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.

May the Lord keep you in his hand
and never close His fist too tight.

May your neighbor respect you,
Trouble neglect you.
The Angels protect you,
and Heaven accept you!

Everyone can thank Amos(the cat) for helping me type this. I don't know what I would do without all his help.

My dear Mary Jean Mapes,

You are so very welcome. When I saw the book called Roses I knew it was for you. With roses being your favorite flower and reading being your favorite pasttime, what better gift? 

I am so very pleased that you liked the Irish blessing. Since everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day, i thought it only appropriate that I be Irish too.

Tell Amos he did a most wonderful job helping you to type your post. I will be sending your April gift to Oak Mountain Park to the Reunion. I will not be able to attend, but I am hoping you will be there. Please post if you will not be there so your last gift can be mailed befoer the reveal.

Mary Jean Mapes I hope you have enjoyed having me as your Secret Pal as much as I have enjoyed being your Secret Pal.  I hope too that I have retained my secret identity throughout this time. I have had a most wonderful time playing this game.

Thank you so very much for all that you have done for me. I do appreciate it so much. I have no idea who you are. I hate that I won't see you in person at Oak Mountain but I am also  thrilled to finally find out who you are. Amos is helping me again so I better stop while I'm ahead. Thank you. Miss Mary
