The Ideal Gift

Sarah came to visit Silas and brought two great gifts: first, a beautiful sweater that she knitted herself; second, an additional handmade item we've been calling The Ideal Gift.

Sarah's second gift was a thank-you note written to Sarah. The note was thoughtful and heartfelt, with impeccable penmanship. It contained lines such as "The sweater is so masterfully knitted; we are so impressed with your handiwork!" It was signed "Love, Meredith & Todd." Sarah also gave us a self-addressed stamped envelope -- all we had to do was drop it in the mail.

We admit that we've been slow with some of our thank-you notes. But now you know: if you'd have written it yourself, we would have thanked you a long time ago!
