What lovely gifts! My sisters are dear to my heart, too, and I know the ache of not being near to help. Tea and hot cross buns also sound delectable. When I read "autumn" I checked your post date and then your profile. :) Here in Texas it is spring, and a very pretty one after a wet and mild winter. You are my neighbor on Ann's list this week, and I enjoyed giving thanks to God with you for His good gifts. May He continue to give healing grace for your sinusitis!
