Ho, Ho Ho

I received a package in the mail today from my west coast sister-in-law and I was as excited as a kid at Christmas.  I did not, as a friend recommends, set the box out on my patio for 24 hours so all the virus could die.  Nor did I wipe it down with bleach wipes.  Nope, I just ripped into that box to find out what was in there.  There was a lovely chiffon wrap (which I may get to wear this summer, if I can go out anywhere), and a pair of knitted slippers which I can wear right now, all day, every day.  The slippers were actually a Christmas gift . They were too large when she sent them in December, so I had returned them to be re-sixed and now they fit much better.  A third gift was a chocolate Easter bunny.  Yummy.  Turns out that the Fred Meyer's (like our Kroger's) where my nephew works, had lots of gold wrapped Easter bunnies.  The ears are gone now.  Quite tasty.  But the very best gift of all are three excellent, comfortable, truly protective masks that she made for me.  Who would have thought, back in December, that face masks would be my most thrilling gift?
