I am humbled…
Mike,
It was my pleasure to pick you up, meet you and spend time with you…
I am a believer that one good deed can start an avalanche of good deeds… I hope that is the case with this.
They say no good deed goes unpunished… but this is spectacular! As I watched this box being made, I thought this was your best yet! The hinges and the inserts are just the best! I am so excited!
So… where can I drive you next!!!! ;-))
I accept, Mike, I accept… with gratitude. I will look forward to receiving it.

I’ll PM my address.

Fantastic Mike. Not to many people go out of their way for others anymore. Special gift for a special lady. Well done.

Mike,

Gifts, for acts that expect no compensation, are all the more special. Your Dad taught you well.

Fine job and great gesture! I was going to suggest that you tell Ellen that this was not a subject for discussion either, but I see she has already graciously and enthusiastically accepted! Bravo for your thoughtfulness.

Beautiful box and all I have to say is: “THIS is what LJ’s is all about !” Another fine example of 2 wonderful people, exchanging fantastic “kind” gestures…...

Mike, I am sure you really enjoyed making this box and I can see that you put your heart into it. Ellen, I imagine that you will enjoy this fine box for many years, but also will remember the fine person that gave it to you and all because of an “act of goodness” !

This is fantastic !

That’s a beautiful gift, Mike. I’m sure it will mean much more than gas money.
