    Talking May SS Exchange

    To DuckonWheels - Thank you! Your package was sitting on my front porch (hiding behind a shrub) when I got back in town from three days of field trips. It was work, but somehow a "business trip" doesn't exactly describe being out in marshes. I was excited and curious to see the Customs sticker, and couldn't figure out what it was until I turned the package over and saw the return address. Besides the package was too small to be the day-pack I ordered from REI.

    Thank you!!! What is the acronym on the buff and water bottle? Maybe now my wild hair will be tamed, just in time for more boat trips. In June I'll get back on my bike. Hope she forgives me for the neglect.

    I came home today a bit stressed after an 8 hour curriculum meeting to find a box from far away on my back step. Just seeing the box brought a smile to my face and the contents made that smile even bigger and brighter. Thanks, Cheryl for the neat gifts within that box. The cat prints are absolutely wonderful. I can't wait to have them framed and to hang them in my bedroom (how did you know I had painted my bedroom purple?). The postcards, magnet, rub, lip balm and box mark are also wonderful and will be put to good use. Thanks again!

    Note to my SS - I've not forgotten you I've just about got all your goodies and will have it mailed later this week. Be patient!

    Makbike, good to hear the package arrived safely. I had to send it from Canada as i couldn't bring the turkey rub into Australia!

    I went to the Edmonton craft fair & wandered around trying to decide what to send you! When i saw the cat items i thought

    I feel terrible that I'm so behind this month. Really, truly, I promise you my Secret Sister that your package will go out tomorrow night. I don't think I've ever cut it so close to the end of the month before.

    Ah, but it was totally worth the wait!!

    I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Boston to find my SS package waiting for me. SJCzar - you did a great job! I felt like I was taking a trip down memory lane...I'm sure you don't know this, but I lived in Milwaukee for a couple of years in my early teens, so the city themed stuff was great! I love the 'bubbler' magnet! And since beer is so popular here in the PNW, too...I'm sure the beer related recipes will come in very handy. I laughed out loud at the note in the book, too. When I moved from Milwaukee to Boston, my history teacher made a comment about how they must do more in Milwaukee than just drink beer (I'd gotten an A on my first test) - I said "yeah, they play baseball!" (That was the year the Brewers were in the world series!!) I will say that I truly miss brats though.

    Oh, and I started my day today with the cashew vanilla creme coffee and it was AWESOME!!

    Thanks so much for making my day! It was wonderful!!

    So when do we get to figure out who all the SS's are? As soon as everyone has their packages, we must fess up!

    I have no clue who my SS is but THANK YOU!! The box of fun was awesome. I have been pouring through the pages of the book and just booked a coast camping trip the beach ball will be fun! Plus I love Life is Good stuff. My dogs should love the goodies as well. Thanks for looking into things I like, I feel so special. It has been a long week, I needed a little pick me up.

    Thumbs up Just in time!

    I got the package to my SS in the mail today. My SS (and you don't know who you are yet ) should receive it next week. Hope you like it.

    Thank You!

    Just got back from a 3 day weekend away from home and found a fabulous package from my SS! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!. ... What great fun stuff... obviously you know that where I live, if you aren't needing the sun screen, you need the mosquito repellant! Love all the goodies, and look forward to trying them all out. Thanks for making taking the time to make such a great gift!

    So.. who's in MO? I'll have to pay a little more attention to be a sleuth... I'm typically fairly oblivious!

    I got my package today! Thank you very much for my goodies. Love the socks! And the yummy stuff as well. And the lieguard chapstick has come at a great time in my working season. I will be using that! The sticker and hat are very cool as well. Did I leave anything out.
    Ok now are you from Texas? I noticed the trail mix was from texas. AM I right?Is it Aggie Ama?
    Oh yes the socks do appeal to my cat side.
    Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

    You must not have peeked at the return address! Yup, it is me. The hat is from Lance's new bike shop and the trail mix is named after the area I went to college. Glad it got out to you, I was getting a little nervous because it normally doesn't take almost a week.
