my neighbor returned my lawn gnome today. i was so thankful.
i am glad you gave him a chance to shine! everyone deserves a chance to be trusted, and it is good on you to roll the dice!
oh, if you saw this one you would understand. i have won every lawn of the month award with it for months straight. i was getting somewhat concerned because he is known from waltzing off on his own from time to time. but, i am thankful that my neighbor was quite vigilant!
