You were wondering about the right expressionHere it is for ya!
" Something" has paid off. I guess you can say my patience paid off or It paid off to be patient.
Another expression for ya!

My dear SS (SheFly) I finally got the chance to open my package. It came to right address few days ago, but since I was away for couple of weeks I sent my parents address, and when I finally arrived they were on vacation, so I could only stand in front of the window and look your big package through the glass window.
Ah what a pain,what an agony, to know you received something great but not been able to look what it is.
But, my patience has payed well (...was that the right expression
...) ...anyway, thank you for the books, "Water Witches" seems very interesting (and easy to read 
) and for the other one... well, I just hope I'll visit Boston some day so I could see it with my own eyes, that would be really nice.
Thank you also for all the other things

YAY! So glad to hear that the package arrived safely - I was worried about it. I thought that your English was good enough to send you a novel - it may be a challenge, but you will get through it. And the magnet is from the town in which I live - so glad that you like that as well!
Enjoy the reading!

p.s.
Did the package smell like apples when you opened it????"Well behaved women rarely make history." including me!

what a delightful package i just received in the mail! someone sent me a gorgeous post card, some hello kitty wipes (Boy, i might be needing them on my next ride
) some
MUCH NEEDED CHOCOLATE (I just ran out
)
a book all about the state of Virginia and a wonderful little curious George pad.
What my dear Secret Sister doesn't know is that my DH LOVES Curious George (has the book, has toys, etc) and he is going to get this little pad.
Thanks so much...

Mimi, you gave me a MUCH needed smile tonight. I'm glad you're happy with your package...and if you want to share your Curious George with your hubby, I'm ok with that.

Jeannie, you should have seen his face last night when he saw it. it was priceless. He saw the pile of gifts on the table and he more or less dismissed it all. ho hum get this stuff out of my way... Then I pulled curious george out from the bottom and he got all goofy eyed. It was really cute. Originally Posted by jeannierides

Unfortunately no, but now my whole house does Originally Posted by SheFly

I like it very much when people do something on their own, I fell very special than.

So glad you liked the books and other goodies, too. Enjoy..... Originally Posted by PAP103

There were some goodies for the road, mini notebooks and coffee in there!
Thank you so much, my SS from NJ!!!!
