YAY! Xmas has come for me, January 2, 2015, about 3:35 pm šŸ˜ƒ Thank you (JoseB), for the astonishing presents from my old ancestorsā€™ place. I am also from the Netherlands genealogically ā€“ both from my mothersā€™ and fathersā€™ descendants (Gronigen, I believe). You have given me yummy chocolates, notebooks, greeting cards, gummies, and licorice? And weird salty hard candies! And more than that I cannot describe. And thank you also for the hand-written note via fountain pen! Very special! MMMmmmmmm ! šŸ˜ƒ I am getting too fat too quick :smack: ---

The good wishes made it just fine. šŸ™‚ If anyone should ever require an example of the concept of ā€œgracious, elegant and cleverā€, cite this sentence. **Ivory Tower Denizen** , my grandmother (born in 1901 and every inch a _grande dame_), would not understand the Internet at all, but that sentence would earn you her highest accolade: you were _raised right._ ---
