It's come at last - via China, I think and being set aside as "extra-suspicious to be checked more thoroughly" at every single stop-over...

How do we ss's seem to telepathically find such appropriate things? It can't be just from reading the ss's posts.

MomOnBike has sent me a t-shirt with a gracious-looking sand-hill crane [I love birds] and "Nebraska" in nice letters on it. A *huge* box of things - chokeberry jelly [now how does she know I am a jam maker?], a sweet summery-smelling candle [ how does she know I like that kind of smell :"Summer breeze,makes me feel fine, blowing thru the jasmine in my mi-i-i-nd ;60's left-over that I am], an amazing bendable wire sculpture of a bike and rider - even the hair is bendy so I have bent it streaming backwards like the rider is flying downhill in a headwind (a la Richard Virenque in the TdF in the late '90's).
And more...popcorn the whole family can share, a lippy balm all natural, a key thingy (so my key won't have to go topless, she says in a tiny note taped to it, lol. Actually several things had teeny notes on them)
Thank you MomOnBike - I was not worried as things sometimes take forever in the mail here; but I imagine you were.
