Yesterday after getting home from picking the girls up from school, my husband gave me a slip of paper that said that I missed a mail delivery. I needed to sign for the package so they would not leave it on my front porch. Darn it!
This morning we traveled to the our town post office to pick up the much anticipated package, that came all the way from Quebec City. My excitement was overflowing. I knew who the package was from and that it was on it's way.
We were to go out to lunch with My Mom, so I showed much restraint and politely put the package into the back of my truck and drove on to our next destination, secretly wishing to open it in a flurry of paper and packing tape.
After a wonderful lunch Miss H and I headed home as fast as we could so we could see what was inside.......
The box was packed full of goodies and love.
Every item selected with great care and thought.
A fuzzy moose magnet for Little E's bulletin board.
A beaver dude for Big E, and a Canadian deck of cards for Miss H.
A Canadian key chain for all of us to fight over.
I've the perfect spot for this in my kitchen. I have a little collection of Cat's Meows that will look perfect resting next to this scene of Quebec City.
To my delight there was chocolate of course!
Almost too pretty to open, ALMOST!
Mmmmmmmm It was yummy!
Ok I am admittedly a chocoholic but these maple cookies are my favorite......So yummy and flavorful. They taste just like Canada, I think :)
Chloe enjoyed the aroma of Canadian Furry Pad friends. ( a stray toffee fell on the floor and Chloe ate it wrapper and all, "Thanks Romy! I wash delicioush!")
Sadie wants to give a shout out to Romy her new Homie G.,"and my Mom says I have to include the kitties but I don't really like kitties!"
A wonderful book for me to read. Sharing a common bond between us. Merci Gin, Steve, and Little Miss! Merci Merci Merci!!!! Nous nous sommes amusés tellement en ouvrant toutes nos surprises! I hope that is right I used a translation web site! :)
You are absolutely welcome! I'll have Steve take a peek at your translation, because I would have done the same thing!! I'm so glad that everyone enjoyed the package - down to the furrykids scents! Much love!

Your gift of goodies is wonderful, Sarah. It's a special feeling to get a package in the mail and know someone thought of you as it was being wrapped with care. Enjoy your chocolate! YUM!

oops brain is indeed fuzzy, happens to the best of us -- 18th, not 16th. And all these years I've been sending good karma and warm thoughts to you on the wrong day!
