In the Mail

Checked my mailbox and ....yess!!!  Several books have arrived!

Silly me, though. I ordered one that I realized I had gotten for free on my Kindle months ago.. so it's just in time to give away as a birthday gift for someone special.

Note the layer of dust on my mailbox... I thought about wiping it before I took this picture, but that would present a false picture of me, wouldn't it? ;) Because I DO leave dust on things too long...

Time to Spring clean soon -- in and out!



Well, this is a first.. I received a birthday card today, even though my birthday is in September! It turns out my 85 yo mother in law mixed up names and birthday dates. She realized too late in the game, chuckled about it, and decided to send it off to me, anyway. Sweet, hey? I even got a cheque! :)  Thanks, Mom C!  There's nothing positive about a weakening memory, except maybe when the recipient gets a gift because of it!

 One day it could be me.. oh, don't I know it.


Looking forward to reading some new books and maybe purchasing some quality dark chocolate to go along with that!

    How sweet with your MIL to just go ahead and send the card out early. Maybe when your real birthday comes along, she'll forget this card and you'll get another one :)

    Always a joy to get books in the mail! I'm sure you will enjoy reading them all!

    Yay you. Boxes of books are the best. Love having to wait for them to come because the anticipation is so wonderful. :) Enjoy, sweet friend.

    Parcels with new books are always so exciting! Although I have to say nowadays, since I mostly use my Kindle, there aren't as many as there used to be. Enjoy your reading!

    I remember ordering books from those flyers that were distributed in elementary school and anticipating their arrival - I still feel the same way when I order a book. I love my kindle but I do miss flipping the pages of a "real" book.

    Hi Neta! Nothing like fun mail, that's what I say! And that's anything that doesn't require me to write a check :)
    You'd be right at home at my house. I just got back from vacation, and it looks like it around here.

    Enjoy those books and chocolate. Sounds heavenly!
