Thanks, Secret Pal. . . You're the best

Every day I e-mail my work-from-home beloved to see if any "good mail" has been delivered. Most days the report includes requests for donations, telephone bills or perhaps a flyer addressed to "resident".

Today, however, I got the news I had been hoping for. "You got a box", the e-mail read and that was it for me. All afternoon I pondered what might be inside of the box awaiting me at home.

When my day ended, I rushed home to find what goodies awaited me. And it was well worth all of my excitement.


Right off the bat, I spied a project bag. Did my dear Secret Pal know that I had been coveting a bag to hold my sock projects. This bag is adorable! The fabric features the sweetest pattern and it is the perfect size for my needles, yarn and a pattern. No more plastic baggies for me. Thanks, Pal.

Inside the bag I found yarn, dyed just for me. "Ride Sally Ride" is a bright red and the 462 yards promise something wonderful. Just for me. . . I am not worthy.

She didn't stop there. Sweets! Sweets! Coconut patties coated in chocolate, a box of Jelly Belly sours, and tropical treats. Mmmmmmmmmm.


And a little sensory trip around the world. Vials of perfumes named after cities around the world. Each smells great!

Oh, now if I only knew who she was. . . so that I can thank her personally.

Each gift has been so thoughtful and generous. I hate to see it end. Thanks pal!

Totally loving the yarn, so purty! Can't wait to see what you make out if it. And enjoy one of those coconut patties in my honor, please. Because sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you don't.
