July/Aug SS Thank You

[roguedog]

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

Shelly, I'm afraid I'm the guilty party. VERY sorry. My life has been crazy the last couple of weeks between work, friends visiting and then life in general.


THANK YOU very much and very sorry for the belated posting. It was a very nice surprise at work. It's kinda funny cuz that day our office manager was out sick and I happened to glance over at the mail pile and out of curiosity, I just went thru the mail pile.

After the initial perplextion over why there was something addressed to me, I remembered. "OH, it must be from TE!"

Thanks very much for the nice mag sand book!

Whew roguedog, glad you got it. I was nervous there for a little bit.. Now that I know you've received the book/mags, I will send out the smalls that I had accumulated for you. I wanted to get it in the mail ASAP so you wouldn't have thought you were being left out. So be on the lookout for a smaller pkg, won't be til next week that I get to mail it out.. shelly

I got my SS package yesterday, and it's true, they come when you are most in need of a bit of a pick up. (the chocolate helped )

I love the cyclist's map of Maryland, I'm marveling at the tiny distances on the map, and the squiggly borders. Postcards, too. I love 'em.

The small book by an 1890s woman trying to learn to ride a bike is great. DH & I have been enjoying the pictures together. She certainly was a determined woman.

And then, for when I'm done adventuring - bath stuff. Perfect.

So thanks, SS from Maryland. I love the package

And to my SS, be patient. I'm slow, but I do get things done after a while.

sorry I smoked all the cigars
That wasn't mere mortal chocolate, that was TESTOSTERTOBLERONE!!!
Did you see The Practical Pedal?

[MomOnBike]

I Knew I'd forget something.

I enjoyed the Practical Pedal, of course. Just the sort of thing I pick up at the LBS - if they had such a thing, of course.

And the cigar box! You know how, as a parent, you give your kid a Perfect Gift, and the kid goes ga-ga over the box? Yeah, that's me. For some reason, I love cigar boxes.

So yeah, the gift was perfect. Thanks again.

I was afraid you might have thought it was box packing paper

[salsabike]

Ah...two wonderful books--The Kite Runner and The Secret Life of Bees! And an irresistably cheerful pair of white, yellow and blue daisy Coolmax socks and a colorful magnetic note pad---we USE those things, so thank you, BikingMomof3!!

I mailed my July/August SS package somewhere around August 15 & have not heard from my SS. Oh, I hope it hasn't gotten eaten by the postal service gremlins!

SS, if you have received my package, please let me know.

Yesterday, I came home to a wonderful package from Croatia!

Two books, some very tasty cereal bars, a cute notebook, a seasoning packet, a really cool pen and some homemade bookmarks, one with TE logo and the other of my dogs! There were also some inspirational notes & quotes included in the books and bookmark.

Perfect timing, as I just finished my current book last night! Now I just have to choose which book to read first. I think I'm going to start with The Little Prince.

What a great package of gifts! Thank you so much, iFKA.

BTW ~ You were my SS in April 2006! Looking through your posts, I realized I never replied to your 'thank you' post, letting you know who I was.

[Cindyloo]

Dear SS,

Thank you so much for the ride journal! I will most definitely use it! I just received the package yesterday and I'm already halfway through the Koontz book you sent. It is soooo good....and the gum and energy bloks! You're awesome! Now just who are you on TE????

To my SS, I mailed it today so it should be there later this week!

[teigyr]

To my SS,

I can't figure out who you are!!! Sorry about the belated posting, I hadn't mailed mine out yet and I wanted to wait to open what you sent until I sent my package out. Guilt...so to the recipient of mine, it is going next day and will be there tomorrow!!

SS, thank you so much! I can definitely use the Shot Bloks and the propel. As a matter of fact, I was/am having a shot blok shortage so it's perfect! And the books? They both look great!!! I'm going on a long plane trip tonight and I am taking one of them (haven't figure out which one yet but I think it'll be the cycling one) with me. It looks funny and I need the motivation right around now

Thank you again, whoever you are!

p.s. I love mysteries also, that was an excellent choice!

Teigyr, I came home tonight after a bike ride that never ended. I lugged my girl up on the deck and there's a pkg. at my door. I thought, another pkg. for DH, he's always getting parts sent to him. But no, it was for ME. I threw my bike inside, well, not really. And rushed to open the box. Thank you so much..I can't wait to read the Taku book..that sounds very interesting. I flipped thru the Seattle book twice so far, it's amazing what time and modernization does to towns. The cherries were scrumptious. I popped one in my mouth and savored it with some coffee. Havent tried the covered pistachios yet. I will have to hide these treats from DH, he'll have them gone in no time. The note was sweet also. THANK YOU SO MUCH..loved everything..

THANK YOU F8TH637. I was busy outside (filling my bird feeders and baths) when my DH came out and told me I just got a VERY HEAVY PACKAGE from FE. WOW, I mean WOW. The Smithsonian BIRDS of NA is one beautiful book. DH said I definitely have my winter reading. I have already looked up my 'gotcha' birds, the chickadee and lesser goldfinch. The lesser has me intrigued these days because this summer I have been enjoying so many of the 'little guys' at my nyger bags. I am really looking forward to reading "Metal Cowboy" and may take it with me on my trip to Wyoming this weekend. I really should read 'birding basics' because I know very little about birds, I am really a classic 'backyard' birder. And Lance, I will save that for a day where I can pop a dvd in and enjoy. Thank you again. Your note was very personal and thank you again for taking the time to write it.

You are so very welcome, sbctwin! I was a little worried that you might have so many birding books but to hear that you are a 'backyard' birder really puts me at ease and I hope that I gave you some books that will help you become a 'serious' birder. We have a lot of those chickadees and goldfinches in the area and especially in my neighborhood because many people have bird feeders outside. I have some pictures I took of the birds that I wanted to send you but I wanted to get it to you by the end of the month. I really hope you enjoy "Metal Cowboy" as I have. I'm so glad to hear that all my gifts were well-received and right on time. Enjoy!

While my SS came out and said who she was, I actually hadn't read the PM by the time I got my package because I've been so swamped at work, so it was still a surprise! I read it afterwards and slapped my forehead. Duh!

Thank you so much, Tri Girl, you're great. You managed to find a brand and flavor of gels I have yet to taste.
