Saying "you're welcome"

*From December 7th.... (this got put in the draft file)

I learned something this last Sunday in RS from a sister I greatly adore.  It's something I've thought to myself many times, but never said out loud or really even put into words.

I asked her to write it down for me because she put it into words so well (thanks Rachael)....

"It was actually something my dad said once.

The 'Turkey Bowl' LeSueur Pumpkin Crunch Torte... I made a half this year which is baking (hopefully... something's up with my oven) as I type.... and man oh man, it sure smells good!
