coup de grace. French.
1. a death blow, esp. one delivered mercifully to end suffering. 2. any finishing or decisive stroke. [lit., blow of mercy)
You did it, Free!
Put the icing on the cake - the twinkle in the little star - the babble in the brook - the ooh in ooh-la-la!
Free, this is just so funny, and I know in distant days, sitting in my rocker (should I ever actually reach that stage) (okay - rocking computer chair!), I will remember and chuckle with delight...
And all who participated today created the warm glow in my heart for your presence and friendship - the hallmark of The Finest Family.
Special thanks to Mama_Bear and Billie for the wonderful graphics, and all those others added.
Thanks, too, jw, for the final butterflies to fill my dreams, just like when I was two. Glad the little swinging kitty brought you back to center..:))
Totally unnecessary to repeat, but you know you all made this the most memorable of days for me ~ ~ it is deeply appreciated.
Lori, what a beautiful profile this is, the colors are just gorgeous and the tea stuff is so very elegant as befits a Southern lady like Maggie.
Maggie, congratulations on the very wonderful life you are living and for sharing it with us. I do hope your left three working fingers did not get too tired yesterday....lol....I have read most of the thread and am thrilled that so many got to show you their appreciation for you and/or get to know you better.
As so many said, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY AS A MARINE AND AS A MILITARY WIFE......and thank you for the moving prayers you offer up on a daily basis for all those who are serving our country now.
