Yesterday after I got home from our walk (more on that later), I found not one, but TWO packages in the mail. Wheeee!

We opened the big one first, and when I looked at the label, I knew who it was from. “Is there anything for me?” Emma always asks this and she is almost always disappointed. This time, she was very pleasantly surprised when I said, “YES! This big box!”

She jumped up and down, even.

It was a box of clothing from JoVE, who very kindly packed up some outgrown (and beautiful) items from her daughter. Emma and I moved the box to the living room, where we spent a few minutes oohhing and ahhhing over each item, including some summer tank tops for next year, which are *exactly* the kind Meaghan would wear.

Then she had to change into half of them, making outfits, strewing them all over the living room. The courdoroy skorts fit great and she loves them especially. Both of them matched the turtleneck she was wearing.

So thank you so much JoVE. Yes, Emma remembered your visit and told us all about it, all over again. She was really pleased and said that was so nice of Tigger.

And THEN, if that wasn’t enough, I remembered the smaller parcel. It was from Her Most Awesomeness, ToadyJoe, who sent me elderberry syrup. I had told her the berries looked like the wild blueberries here, so as soon as I taste it, I’m gonna let her know how good it is. Meaghan was also impressed with your domesticity, Toady.

So thank you very much too!

I have the bestest invisible friends in the box on my desk EVAH! Kisses and hugs to both!
