you folks are too funny! i've finally got internet back, but thanks to cindy holding my hand via the phone today, i knew that the box from triss arrived good job triss. you told me but gosh, it is better than you described!
Well Cindy, I am trying to get him to visit so I can drug him, stuff him in a box, and overnight him your way but I think he knows what I am up to cuz he just won't come visit.
triss thats too funny!
holy cr@p penny DONT FORGET THE CARD! you of all people would shurly confuse someone!
HOORAY!!!Am I second after Cindy??? ..........I Got My Box This Afternoon!!................
Thank you Tina!!!! She didn't have a card in it, but there was so many gifts that she has to be my secret pal!!!
This is going to be hard without a camera!
I won't put it all in one post.
First I got a wooden brightly painted sign shaped like a birdhouse with 'Happy spring' across the top and it has a yellow flower with leaves and big bees!! It's so cute. It has hooks on both sides on the back so you can hang it, but I am going to get a stake and glue it on the back so I can stick it among the flowers outside.
And...I got a wonderful, warty frog with google eyes, sitting atop a rock, holding a sign which says, 'Welcome'. He will go outside among the flowers also. I love him!
Some more for outside is a windchime made out of wooden pieces carved to look like bamboo and stained dark!! I really like those!! Because I'm not usually thrilled with the mettle noisy ones. These make hollow wooden sound that is more primitive, and I like primitive stuff!!!
And another 'hangie thingie' for outside has wooden beads on it with a wooden bird hanging on the end. Very nice, and matches the windchime!!!
I also got a package of corms to plant and a package of seeds!!!! The corms are called 'IXIA' which I don't remember seeing and will look that up on the net. One plant is a tall stalk with flowers up and down the top of it and slender straight reed looking leaves growing from the base. Can't wait to see them grow!! :wink:
The package of seeds are the very ones I have been intending to buy!!! I know I have never mentioned them, so how lucky can I get??? They are COSMOS..Seashells Mix!!!!!I just love the seashell petals!!! Thank you Tina
One is a large stake, and he is holding shears. He's wearing, besides his peaked hat, a beige plaid shirt with a leather look vest!!
The other Willy is wearing a blue jacket and sitting atop a wonderfully, marvelous snail!! He's sitting there reading a book. I love my Willies!!! And am so happy to add to my collection.
Also, two of the CUTEST pot hangers!! One is such a sweet Bee, and the other is the other is a baby monkey! They both have bobble heads!! They are very sweet and are going to have a happy home hanging on my pots. They will probably chase each other from pot to pot!!!
I entend to go to the park this spring and summer and walk the hiking trails!! And I always get so hot!!....So...little Miss Tinda with ESP!!!....sent one of those water bottles with a fan in front of the nozzle to spray your face and neck and whatever!!! How cool is that? (or it will be)!!
So, after my exercise, I can eat what else she sent!!!; A large bag of Chocolate Mint Patties!!! That's going to be so good...but then I'll have to walk AGAIN!
Wow Shirley, that's really GREAT stuff that Tina sent you! I'm so happy that you got yours today!
I bet you had a blast ripping it all open. Do any of your kids have a camera that they could use to take pictures for you?
I officially just mailed mine with the tracking number.....the shipping total almost made me faint. Someone remind me next time NOT to use my own box....it would've been cheaper with 2 flat rate boxes.
Shirley, I knew you didn't have a camera and I had planned on taking a pic of everything before I packed it. But I got enthusiastic and sealed everything up. With out a card or pic or anything. But you have great descriptive powers. Nothing broke in there? I worried about the Sambuca. I'm glad it got there in a timely manner. I was worried you were going to wet yourself while waiting.

That is so awesome Shirley! You got lots and lots of wonderful gifts! Good choices Tina! Can't wait to see pics if you can get your son to come over and take them for you Shirley!
Oh, it was such fun taking each thing out of the box!! (I had to turn up the bottle and have a taste when I came to the Sambuca!!). Only one of my sons lives in Ohio but would not drive down here to Cincy just for me to take a picture!! I wish he would get the idea, and get with his brothers and they could all chip in and buy me one for Christmas!!!! Of course that doesn't do me any good right now!!
Oh Tina, how thoughtful of you to think of taking the pics for me!!! That is sweet!
Naw, I wouldn't have wet myself! I do get excited though!!!
