Yippee, I finally got my package sent. Just want to thank my SS for being so patient with me. Hope you'll be suprised when you get it.

Also, I'd like to thank my SS. I came home to a wonderful box filled with a variety of goodies and have enjoyed all of them. I'd considered trying the injinji socks and now I've had the chance. They're great. I also really like the decorative box. Shot blocks are one of my favorites, too. Thanks for everything!

Dear Flyby, my secret sister. Your very impressively sized package arrived today.
(this is my husband's and my birthday week)
"Did you order this?"
"no - do you know the name on the return address?"
"no"
"Idaho?"
"You don't know what this is?"

INSIDE were some of the most BEAUTIFUL potatoes I have EVER SEEN fresh from Idaho!!! and Huckleberry Jam, where I spent a Christmas Holiday, the last as a single person. Raleighdon and I had just started dating, so he was not invited. We each pined away for each other that Christmas, but Cascade was SO BEAUTIFUL.

I really appreciate the book, we will read it and pass it on (I wanted to read it!) It's Lance's book it's not about the bike AND some tea, AND some nice shopping bags.
Interestingly enough, she also sent me some dry hashbrowns! We'll try those for breakfast VERY SOON.
Flyby, you might not know it, but I lived in Idaho for almost 10 years, met my DH there and had my first child. Your gifts from Idaho really touched me. Thanks!
and thanks for the Montana Waterbottle!


and all this on top of the cute bike teeshirt!!!

I am so glad that you like all of your goodies. I had a lot of fun figuring out what to put in the package.

Where in Idaho did you live?

I love living here. I enjoy the open space, the scenery, the fishing, the mountains, the recreation, and the people. Where I live, I can drive two hours in any direction and be somewhere spectacular - Yellowstone National Park in one direction, Sun Valley resort in another, Salmon River area in another, a beautiful lake called Bear Lake in another, the state capital of Utah is about three hours away, and the state capital of Idaho is about four hours away. It is such a treat to have that much fun waiting right around the corner.

Payette Lake was a beautiful experience this summer and I am glad that you got the opportunity to stay there. I have been there twice now. The first experience was with a camp for adults who were mentally ill - it was a blast. That would be a great place to pine away for a man!! Did you ride you bike around the lake? We didn't bring bikes this summer because we took a van and to save on gas and had it packed to the ceiling with the tent and other camping stuff for the five of us. I don't think we could have fit a rubber snake in the back if we tried!!!

Have a great day!

Flyby, I lived first in Boise then in Eagle (before they allowed growth and subdividing of farm properties)
I lived in the center of a working 50 acre farm in a tiny rental house, on floating feather road. My driveway was 500 feet long. When they grew corn I had absolute privacy. No neighbors either.
THat's where Raleighdon and I lived the first year of our marriage. And before that, when gas was cheap, I spent all my free time cavorting about Idaho, both in an old volkswagen and also hiking. We drove everywhere; to all corners of the state. It was a great place to be a young adult; I was able to afford to get a horse - pasture was cheap.
I'm surprised you didn't send me an Idaho Spud candy bar, but i'm glad you didn't; they're gross!

OK, I received my box of goodies in the mail today..from Mass I think..I"m not good with abbreviations of states..and by scanning back I think Tygab is my SS. THere was no name only a return address. MY gu and sharkbites were froze. (It is like 18degrees, windy and snowing presently and they were out on the mailbox for a little too long). I have never tried the sharkies before, am excited as I've heard about them. Havent' tried that flavor of GU before. Gosh, I wish spring would get here..the water bottle and socks are perfect. One can never have too many blinkies (mine received damage from my last ride when it fell off so its perfect). THanks so much for the thoughtful gifts--they will be well used in the upcoming cycling year...thanks again..

I would like to thank my SS uk elephant from across the ocean for my gifts! I got a wonderful knit hat (I believe it is home made?) and something in a jar which is my ? to her. What is in the secret jar? Is it jam? Please tell me! Thank you again my not so SS. She was nice enough to take me even though I knew it was her. What a sweet heart!

Sorry about the lack of labelling. I only just realized. Oops. The jar is filled with my home-made apple butter from apples grown here at the college where I work. Hope it survived the journey. And the knit hat was indeed home made too.
