FRIENDS!

As lunch began, for the second time (minor trouble starting lunch the first time led to a second round, much more successful! ) , we glanced out our large old window to see a van pull up.....a man jump down, grab a large LARGE box from the back and bring it up the walk to US! oh my!

THis wasn't just ANY box. it wasn't expected. it wasn't ordered. IT WAS FROM A FRIEND! ooooooh!!!!! With the classic penning of Elly Fales our names were written on this DOOZER of a box. :)
And inside, well that is another story. Cards announcing Happy's and Birthday's and Wonderfulness!



a camping set!! chair, sleeping bag, flashlight, compass, TENT! sooooo cool! (and all in a very handy, very co-ordinated bag on WHEELS) wow.

There was also a precious something for me, THANK YOU so much dear Elly, Doug and Tova. you three are PRECIOUS and LOVED. wow. WOW. wow.

THis was a beautiful gift of thoughtfulness and fun! We are sending our THANKS to you right now. TTTTHHHHHAAAANNNNNNNKKKKKKSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU GUYS ROCK!
oh and i can't forget the coooooolest CD ever!! thank you!! here is Julia dancing to it during snack time: They Might Be Giants, Here Come The ABC's.

I'm so excited that you finally got the package! I sent it at least three weeks ago, hence the mother's day gift. That was the nicest thank you too, it makes me want to send you gifts as surprises all the time. Thanks for all your encouraging posts, Susan. I loved that recent "date" picture of you and Dave. Totally cute.
