[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Hi, Veronica.  It's cool that you took your daughter to get her ears pierced 
as a Christmas present.  My mom took me on my tenth birthday, which was a 
surprise because she'd always said I couldn't have my ears pierced till I 
was twelve, and I still remember how exciting it was.  Windchimes are good 
gifts, too, I love them and have lots of them, and they are pleasant day 
after day.

Sarah was quite showered with gifts, although she wasn't old enough to 
really understand any of what was going on.  She mostly liked to play with 
the boxes.  She was the most fun part of Christmas, but all in all, I'm glad 
to have it behind us.

Take care,
Jo Elizabeth

It is easy--terribly easy--to shake a man's faith in himself. To take 
advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work. Take care of what 
you are doing. Take care.--George Bernard Shaw in "Candide"
