The joke at Christmas or birthdays was,"Don't read the card first!" Belle would invariably write a story to accompany each gift that was SO detailed, she would tell you what was in the box! The card would read,"I found this doll in a little store that...or, this scarf was made by... or, this book tells the story of... Dear Belle. Each gift was as much joy for you to give, as it was for us to receive. Ever, Elizabeth
Don't read the card first!
