A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Thank you Lynne!!

Thank you SO Much for the package I received today!!

Yesterday I was so blue I cried most of the day, and today hasn't been any better!! (I don't know WHY! Except I have been out of my hormone and thyroid pills for two weeks!).

So this box from you came on a day that lifted my spirits greatly!!!!

Lynne had read how much I love the gnome pot hangers so she sent ME some!!

A lovely card and two pot hangers:


And a pair of Footies and lovely Notepad:



CONTINUED......

....two pretty-colored pot holders she made:


All of this is sort of color co-ordinated!! Very pretty!!
And the gnomes faces are adorable!! I love them!!


AND......a book Chicken Soup For the Gardener's Soul!!!:


AND....it's Hard Cover!!! I've only ever had paperback ones before!!!

Thank you so much for these wonderful, thoughtful gifts Lynne!!
It's almost as if you knew I needed a hug or something!! :wink:

great gifts Shirl, those will look great on your pots !!!---good job, Lynne ?/ great choice of gifts!!!
Shirley, I am so glad your spirits were lifted.

Ya know I am beginning to think that perhaps Lynne likes socks, what ya all think????

She may have been the one who started a topic (last year I think) about those sox and everyone was showing theirs and I didn't have a camera then, but it was such fun looking at theirs. It seems like it was Lynne or Jessica, I don't remember.
Aren't those cute with their little smilie faces?!!

Awww, very nice of Lynne....seems like everyone has really been spreading cheer a lot this year. I'm glad it got to you on a day you needed a smile Shirley. Lynne had good timing. Psst....did you get your pills refilled?

(yes, I did, this morning) Hope they kick in by tomorrow! I'd hate to have another day like these.

awwwww.....here is one of the 'sayings' in the book:

"I LIVE in the garden; I just SLEEP in the house."


And I really like this one, because my Ex found me and started seeing me again in the springtime. And...because we had been married in the 'springtime' of our life:

"It is better to remember our love as it was in the springtime."

Guilty as charged!!! I was named the "Sock Fairy" then!

Shirley - I have been so worried about you all week when I didn't see you posting!!! I was hoping everything was ok, and that you would be home to receive the package and not off somewhere (unless it was having more fun with your ex! ).

I'm so sorry you have been feeling down this week. I am glad that the package was timed just right. I waited until I had finished the cloths before sending it. And I got the last 2 of those gnome pot hangers, so they were meant to be yours!!! I ran to the store as soon as I read your post about having to get some - lucky timing!

I hope your meds kick in very soon for you - I know that "down" feeling all too well, and it's no fun! But you do know we are all here for you if the feeling strikes again!

Fantastic Friend That Lynne, sending the just right gift that arrive just when you needed and pick me up Shirls!! I have that book at work at my work bench.I have it opened in a drawer to my right and read while I'm working,,

Truer words were never spoken.
(is truer even a word????)

Great gifts for a great person. So glad that Lynne could help lift your spirits Shirl

Thank you all for your nice comments!

And thank you again, Lynne!! The great 'timing' of the arrival of that gift prompted me to write a poem!!!....

Your gifts arrived amidst my tears,

Like a sun-ray on a rainy day;

Like a smile for my gloomy fears;

Like a laugh to pave my way;

Or, maybe just to say....

Have a nice day!!

Awwwwwwwww Shirley, that poem is so special , and lifts me in this time of some difficulties too.

As I've mentioned in the forums before, it gives me great pleasure to share things with others,
and especially to know that it has helped someone have a better day.

And what better friends to share with, than the ones we've made here, right???
