My granddaughter's entire elementary school participated as they walked around the school neighborhood delivering the baskets they made. Each grade has a specific section of the neighborhood to take care of. I enjoyed looking back at your baskets over the years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-73111977932562663992015-04-27T18:32:50.471-05:002015-04-27T18:32:50.471-05:00May 1st is the start of finals at my daughter'...May 1st is the start of finals at my daughter's college.

Our last May baskets came years ago from neighbor girls. One live in another town and the oldest one lives in NYC and flies all over the world as a lawyer. If I lived closer I would take a big basket to my grandson. L.
