I don't know how YOU all open your mail... but I am in a habit of pushing aside anything white with computer generated invoice appearing though a window envelope and mail with a utilities logo in the return address ~~ and reach for those crazy little bubbles paks and chippers labels FIRST ...

To my surprise... this week was full of surprises!

First - thanks to the Herholds... who sent me a little Shreveport since I couldn't tag along when they went. COOL STUFF!! When I saw your name as the return address... I KNEW you didn't owe me anything and I wasn't expecting such an interesting looking package from you. Thanks Donna and Mike!! (and ya know?? I really like that rose theme they have going on in Shreveport. )
