A PACKAGE IN THE MAIL

I was outside a few days ago, when the mailman pulled up and handed me a package. I didn't order a package! It was from a company called "Improvements" and was adressed to me! I was so excited to open it and see what was in it and who had sent it!

It was from my daughter, Jessica and it was an early Mother's Day present!!! She said they told her that it was on back order but I guess it came early -- lucky for me!

I have been wanting a door stop for my door leading to the basement. When I have the front door open in the summer -- it continually slams that door shut. So she suprised me with a really cool one. I don't want to sound "worldly", but there is something to be said when the child-rearing dividends kick in and you receive fun, thoughtful, gifts from your children that THEY picked out and spent THEIR own money on. Not that I don't still treasure the macaroni pencil cup-type gifts but it's fun to get suprises from them and know that they really do love you!

Thanks Jess and Nate!!! I LOVE IT!!!

It looks perfect! I'm glad you like it - those Skymall magazines really come in handy! Just in time to open the door for some warm weather right? Nate was looking at your snow posts tonight and couldn't believe how much you guys got. Love ya~
