Postman x 2, Florist x 1!

Two days ago, our postmistress

met me at the door with a large package 

from Jeannie!

If you don't know Jeannie,

I apologize!

She is the best!

She gives the most incredible gifts!

I feel so fortunate and humbled

to be one of her many, many friends!

First, check out the caps!

These are caps that I rarely take off my head

these days...unless I put on Gerrie's!  LOL

They are so utterly soft, they fit just right,

they are warm, and they make me so happy!

I do believe I will wear all of these caps next winter

 even when Charlie assures me I will have hair!

There were also three chocolate bars 

in the box.

(You may notice that one has been opened...

oh, yumm, so good!)

And there are dried apricots and Nectarines...

something we don't see too much of

in our part of the country!

YUMMMMMM!

.............and yarn!

Oh my goodness!!!!

I cannot wait to get to work with this yarn!

.....and books:

the book in the back is a journal,

and the small rectangles to the right

are packets with stickers 

and bookmarks!

I've already devoured half of the 

Journaling book!

There was also a wonderful package of

almonds with sea salt and dried cranberries.....

notice the operative word 'was'....

they're gone!

There is a comical (in retrospect) story

about this package....

the moral to the story is,

don't eat the entire package in 5 minutes!

You will get a terrific tummy ache!

Why did it take me 63 years to learn this?

I just don't know!!

Yesterday, when I got to knitting

my friend Bernice presented me with a Priority Mail box 

from her sister Gail,

who lives in Mobile, AL.

Now I do not know Gail,

have never laid eyes on her,

nor have we corresponded.

But out of the kindness of her heart,

she knit me this wonderful Prayer Shawl:

Gail's church,

Dauphin Way United Methodist Church, Mobile, AL

has a Prayer Shawl Ministry called

"Covered in Prayer".

Gail checked with her sister, 

my friend, Bernice,

and knew that I liked bright colors,

so she knit it accordingly.

Isn't it wonderful!!!!

I wore it today during chemo #4,

and it is very nice and warm!!

Thank you, Gail & Bernice!

OK, now I've got to show you this

look how well the colors in the chemo cap

and the shawl go together!!!

Amazing!

One from the far northwest

and the other from the far southeast!!

...and they've never met,

and I've never met them face to face!

I have some incredible friends out there!

I thank you both from the very bottom of my heart!!

And one last thing before I quit

this lovely bouquet arrived today

from my very best beau!!

Isn't he the greatest!!!

I couldn't ask for a better man in my life!

Thank you Sweetheart...

even though you don't read my blog!

thanks for stopping by

peace to you and yours!
