Well now, look what the mailman brought today!

In one of my Christmas nostalgia posts I mentioned how much I loved bubble lights as a child. Several readers left comments telling me where I might find some. I really thought no more about it until the last comment was made to that post.

A reader with whom I've never had any interaction said she and her husband enjoy my blog. They'd found some bubble lights and just wanted my address so they could send them to me.

I offered to pay for them, but the sweet lady declined, and I learned long ago that if somebody wants to give you something, you should accept it gracefully.

Today I received their wonderful gift. Next year, Christmas will be very special indeed.

These folks have a website where they sell some delightful products HERE. They did not ask me to mention them, but I'm happy to put in a word for them. They sell aprons, potholders, tea towels similar to those my mother used to make, and cookbooks.

I appreciate this Texas couple who wanted to give me a gift just because "we really enjoy reading about your adventures".

Rick and Jan, I'll be sending you a book of my poems. Watch your mail.

Thank you SO much!

Oh, and I have another post about stuff from my Grandma tomorrow. Stay tuned.
