If you recall I told you that last Fall my Mum, Pop and I went to a garage sale and we found 9 very negeclated and sad gnomes.  I talked my Mum into taking them home with us.  These gnomes looked as if they hadn’t been out in public for many years.  Their cloths were torn and faded, their hats were a wreck and all in all looked like a bunch of misfits.  Mum promised she would send them out to have new cloths and hats made for them and make them once again presentable to the public.

Well, I want to introduce you to “Grace”.  She is the first one to come back looking refreshed and ready to meet the world once again.  She said they made new cloths and hat for her, she got a message, hair cut and something about getting a pedicure, whatever that is.  Doesn’t she look great.  Grace is the first girl gnome in Mum’s garden. 

I’m going to take special care of Grace as we have some scoundrels in the gardens also.  Grace looks as if she is able to take care of herself quite well but everyone can use a friend and I’m going to be hers.

Welcome to our family Grace – I know you’re going to like it here.
