01.15.2006 :: Public Gratitude!
Did you ever wonder why you are so lucky? I did on Saturday. I came home after running myself ragged with errands and found a package from my Better Pal waiting for me. (Don't worry, it's still a secret, I did not peek!) I put it aside, knowing it would be more appreciated after all the groceries were in their rightful place and the dinner was cooked and consumed.
As I sat down to relax, my attention went to the box.
I am stunned by my secret wonderful pals' generosity! Stunned!
3 balls of meilenweit sock yarn! 1 ball of sheepjies (Cindy, are you reading? i have been wanting to try this since our trip to NYC!) a ball of Regia And a ball of fortissima socka! All of them: Every single one in colors I would have chosen myself! A wonderful set of Brittany size 2 sock needles ( well, I'll need more sock needles with all this yarn calling me, won't I?) a sheepy tape measure, 4 skeins of natural wool to DYE FOR! Kool aid dyeing! Who knew I even wanted to do that? My BP, that's who! One envelope of Strawberry kool aid made it's way into a pitcher which was hastily sipped by Derek and Bethany! So, they thank you too!
Okay, take this moment to look at the notebook. It's there, on the left? A cat wearing a hat! The cat in the hat never looked this cute!
Doesn't the words THANK YOU not seem enough?
So, Bp:
Gracia!
Merci!
Ringraziarla!
Dank u!
Obrigado!
Спасибо!
Takker De!
There. That begins to cover it!
(All Thank you's were found on free translation.com)

Are you a sky watcher?

I'm a lurker who checks your blog every day. Congrats on the great package from your Pal. I am going to try to put your button on my blog (not really sure how, it's a Yahoo 360 cheapie imitation of a real blog, oh well...)
I put up a sky picture on my blog today, and thought of you. Keep on looking up! :o)

What a wonderful package to receive! I sky watched for you, Sandy, but it's not as pretty as a Sydney Summer Sky should be!

and yes, i'm a skywatcher, but i don't know how to post buttons on my blog (i'm inept that way, lol, can barely post and add links). in fact, i posted a pic on my blog today, that you might like, and i'll probably post another one tonight or tomorrow, since it was pretty as well.

That is ONE INCREDIBLY GENEROUS Better Pal. Man, oh man! She's putting some of the rest of us to shame. Tell her (or him) to stop! ;-)

Wow. Sounds like great fun!
Posted by: Chris on 01.15.2006 AT 06:10 PM
And you deserve every bit of that package! Your pal must know you well.
