This is a quick post to publicly thank Vanessa Morrison of Fashion Dolls at Van's Doll Treasures on behalf of my Mother for one of the Mother's Day gifts my mother received from me: a handcrafted ink pen made of olive wood.
At 7:01 a.m., according to the time on my oven clock, my phone rang but immediately went to voice mail when I answered on the third ring. Caller ID revealed the caller was my mother. I am always worried of late when she calls early or late as her health has been waxing and waning. I immediately returned her call. The conversation was as follows:
Mama: I know you're working, but I wanted to call you to tell you to thank Vanessa for my pen. It feels so good in my hands.
Me: Oh Lord! (Relieved that she's okay.)
Mama: This is the smoothest writing pen! Tell her that I can feel the love she put into making it and that I really thank the person who made it and the person who gave it to me. Tell Vanessa she will always be in my prayers.
Me: Oh Lord (messing with her).
Mama: Make sure you tell her, Debbie!
Me: Oh Lord!
Mama: Get off the phone, Debbie Garrett.
Me: Bye Mama.
The time is set 5 minutes faster than the actual time on my oven clock. By the time I sat down to craft this post, my computer clock also read 7:01.
Vanessa -- on behalf of my mother, I thank you for making the beautiful olive wood pen for her on such short notice. My mother sends copious thanks to you as indicated above.
And as I have already informed you, I love my pen that arrived in August of last year. Its beauty and superior crafts-woman-ship is the reason I had one made for my mother. She deserves and desires only the best.
