[jeannierides]

You're welcome again!

Just got back from the post office. My patient SS should receive her box Monday, possibly Tuesday.

Wow Mimi - you got your package from Jeannie overnight? That's amazing - Richmond to Seattle. Meanwhile, I mailed mine to my SS (who is NOT on the left coast) & I don't think it has arrived yet....

five one - I have your avatar picture hanging on my kitchen wall!

When I was in kindergarten, I had that exact trike in blue and white. As soon as I saw that image, I knew I'd found my avatar...finally.

I just received my ss package today and I must say it was a real day brightener. Thank you so much, Five One! The books look like they are "right up my alley", and these cookies! I'm speechless! They are too beautiful to eat (although I couldn't resist sampling one already!). Believe it or not, I've been meaning to read The Secret life of Bees. King of the Wind looks like a book I would have loved as a kid--which means I will likely love it now. (Those Newbery people are never wrong!) and I look forward to reading Red Sky at Morning as well. All this and book marks and book plates to boot! I am not worthy.
Thanks again!

I am not worthy.

Of course you are. Enjoy!

I mailed my SS package out on 8/6, it was going out to Calif. I haven't seen where she has posted that she's received it..hopefully she has it and just hasn't posted. I am more worried about the postal service losing the pkgs opposed to whether the SS will like the pkg

[crazycanuck]

hmmm..SS organizer chimes in.....

Would the loverly person that was Shellyj's ss please let her know it's been received...Just so she knows the post office gremlins haven't eaten her package..

I guess I get to be the first one to get this going. Even though my Secret Sister had to send me her package all the way from Japan she still beat out everyone else.

It was really fun to get some books from a country that I've never been to, but would definitely like to get to visit one day. I'm looking forward to reading them. I think I'll be putting out the hammock in the yard this weekend and starting one of them already.

My coworkers are anxiously awaiting my first experiment with Japanese cooking.

Thanks alot to my not-so-Secret Sister (mountainchick)

My Secret Sister was you, Sue!! It was such a welcome surprise and I got it last week! I've only now had a chance to say anything about it. I've started a new project at work that seriously cuts into my time checking out the boards and even sadder, my cycling time. I really enjoyed all you sent me!

• Book on Milwaukee Now and Then
• A paperback from a writer who places a lot of her books in the Wisconsin area
• Great book of recipes from local inns
• a magnet saying "Where's the bubbler?" - They call water fountains 'bubblers'
• a couple of postcards and a Milwaukee card

I really enjoyed all the personal notes you put in there like noting the places near where you live and explaining the 'bubbler'. That was really cool! My hubby and I are really into photography and cooking and your gifts definitely fit the bill. AND I'm going to use the box you sent me to send my Secret Sister her gift!!

Secret Sister in Utah who loves birds: I have your gifts and have had them for a while actually. I'm trying to decide how to make the gifts more personal. I will definitely try to get it out so that you get it in time for the end of the month.

Thanks again, Sue! Secret Sister is awesome! Can't wait for the next SS go-round!

Sending a big thank you to my great SS from Maryland. I tried to figure out who you are, but there are a lot of TE'ers in that part of the country.

I'm sure the cycling books will come in handy. One can never have enough info. My daughter lived in DC for a couple years, so the book about Washington brought back lovely memories of our visits to your part of the country. I've got a tough ride planned for this Saturday, so I think I will read the Go For It book Friday night and hope it helps ! Cycling snacks are always welcome (Clif Bloks are a current fave) and I was needing a new water bottle. Perfect. And then there was chocolate. I will TRY to parcel that out, but will most likely fail. Gotta love Dove .

Thank you so much for everything!

PAP103 - Are you my SS?

I got your package last week, and it's taken me this long to realize what an idiot I am!! I couldn't figure out who you were earlier. I saw the return address and thought it looked familiar, but I wasn't sure why. I just checked my old PM's and sure enough....you were once the person I sent a SS package to!! Duh!

Anyway, thank you so much for the book, the Clif treats and the post cards! I've never read that author (if you can believe it), so I'm very excited to potentially find a new favorite. The book itself sounds great!

Thanks again!!

I am going shopping this afternoon. When did it get to be almost September.

Yep, that was me. You're welcome. I enjoyed shopping for you! I hope you like the book, I haven't read it but it really sounds like a page turner to me!

I just received the most wonderful secret sister package! I've never read that author, but the books really look right up my alley! Love the biking treats, cliff shot and cytomax sport drinks and the GU gels. And then the Tri Flow lubricant, which I have never tried, but wanted to. Perfect! And then there's the chocolate. sigh. Oh, my... we have nothing like that around here. I stopped at the store today and bought ice cream for my son who is coming home this weekend. I haven't bought ice cream in a year, so why today? And then I saw the lovely jar of chocolate sauce in my ss package. Fate? Vibes? I completely broke my diet with absolutely NO guilt! Twice. I ate part of the chocolate bar too.

Thank you secret sister. I have a couple of clues, so I'm going to try to figure out who you are.

It wasn't me

Haven't you ever heard of TMI?
