Mary Rose a.k.a. Momo, fourth generation, showed the kids all around the house, taught them about lintels, Lyons sandstone, eyebrow windows, and dragontail finials. She showed them a "secret window" and brought them into the beautiful parlor to show them picture after picture.
THEN SHE GAVE THEM GIFTS.
The reason we went is that Rose has to make a model of the home for a school social studies project. Momo gave Rose a cookie jar of the house- ($40!!) and Lucas a teddy bear.
She had such faith in Rose, gave me tips about sites that will read aloud to kids, praised her, trusted her, and loved her. I had- and actually still have- a big lump in my throat.
Happy day.

What a beautiful day and wonderful angel--you deserved that experience.
I received and read your e-mail and haven't replied because I thought it warranted more than a cursory reply. I've been thinking of you, my friend.

Talk about kismet - the middle names say it all!
