November SS-

[Patti37]

Thank you to my secret sister. I received my package on Friday. The socks and the water bottle have already been put to good use. The socks are unbelievably comfortable.

I did love the items from Italy and all the stamps on the outside of the package.

Thank you so much.

ah Patti, thanks for telling me who you were. I still don't know who I gifted in October!!

I received the most wonderful package from my ss. First, I carefully opened it as I'm saving the stamps and stickers from the outside. So much thought and effort! My 19 year old son couldn't get past the stamps from Israel! Anyway, inside was an interesting letter about where my ss lives and the most beautiful oil painting by a local woman artist. I must say, I was absolutely stunned. It is a representation of the Jordan Valley where she lives and she even described the flowers and olive trees. I like how the light is filtering down in the back. I just can't quite convey how much I love this little painting, I will take good care of it and keep it always. Thank you Margaret.

I was so hoping you would feel like this, uforgot
Not looking quite like this at the mo' but was up on the hill yesterday picking olives and thinking the parcel must nearly be there.
I am so touched that you have shared it with everyone. Everywhere on Earth has its own certain slant of light and I think she caught it well.
You must come in the spring and we will ride amongst them!

The oil painting is stunning. Thanks for sharing.

To my SS - my package was sent last Tuesday. I was told it would take 3-5 days so hopefully it will be arriving very soon.

Awesome painting Margo!

I got my SS package this weekend and it was amazing! I got a dream catcher, bike angel (I really needed that!), sport jelly beans, some chocolate, incredible smelling bath products from little mama, tea, hand and foot cream, chamois butter, and a cute little bike paperclip (I think I got it all). What a thoughtful gift from my SS in Phoenix! Now I'll have to look you up, TE map says Vickie lives nearby, is it you?

dear secret sister,
yes i did receive your package and the post office was right about how long it would take. thank you for all the wonderful things. though with it being monday morning and i have short-timer's syndrome really bad i think those chocolate covered espresso beans may meet there end today or at least a few of them will.
thank you for all the thought that went into the package. it made my day to get it.
