More gifts ... and a slight miscalculation lol

 So we stopped off at 396 and today is Day 38  oops!!  Day 46!

And  I realize that I am WAY WAY behind - seems I made a bit of a calculation error.  I had told the women who I am studying One Thousand Gifts with - that if we are together for XX weeks - it is 12 per day.  And for some reason I thought when I last posted, that I was on Day 33.  WHAT???
