I had two nice surprises last week.

My neighbor came to visit, which was a treat. She also brought red velvet cupcakes. Double treat!

And last Wednesday there was a box of beautiful apples on my porch, with a lovely note attached. My favorite part of the note:

“You inspire me to be a better wife and mother.”

***warm fuzzies***

I took a page from my neighbor’s book. I had ordered a box of juice-grade apples to put up applesauce. After I finished a batch, I enjoyed delivering a jar to the same neighbor and another of our friends ‘down the road’ who I knew would appreciate receiving something I made myself.

Do you have wonderful neighbors? Stop in sometime this next week to say hello. Maybe you could surprise them with a homemade treat.

Is there someone in your life who inspires you? Let them know.

And then, for heaven’s sake people, let me know! This is so much fun when everyone shares the nice things they are doing – it makes us all feel warm fuzzies.
