Pink Ribbons Galore!

Boyoboyoboy, does my kid have fabulous friends! Take a look at some of the lover-ly and thoughtful things she's received! And we've concluded that if a gal MUST have breast cancer, October is certainly the month to have surgery. A plethora of pink-ribbon items bedeck the many stores about!

Hence:

Good friends at the LDS Conference Center where Gretchen volunteers and gives guided tours on Thursday evenings by the name of Denny and Francine Beecher sent her this wonderful hand-made quilt. Hard to tell from the photo, but the pink side is all pink ribbons with words like love, play, smile, peace, faith, etc throughout the spaces between the ribbons. We just cried when we opened the box.


The matching bracelets are from our great friend in Oregon, Chris Low. They're matching promise bracelets -- one for me, one for the Gretch..


And would you believe a Halloween costume??? It's a handmade super-hero cape! Gretchen's good friends in her old ward, Pat Ogden, and Carri Hulet came by today. Gretchen's new name: "Super Gretch!"


Your continued prayers, cards, thoughtful meals, treats, and fun fun gifts are greatly appreciated by all of us in this household!

(I apologize for including the photo of Miss Polly, the newest member of our family. She was a gift to me from Birthday Claus last week. She's adorable. Alan stuck his "I voted" sticker on her forehead. Non-dog lovers, please ignore this one!)
