I love my mail man

He left a fantastic box on my front porch today. I got really excited when I saw the return address. It was from my good stitching buddy, Rachel. I knew when I saw that the package was from her that there would probably be some yummy goodies inside. I was right!

Rachel makes the bestest candy in the whole world! Inside the box was a pretty tin filled with "oh I so want to eat the entire box of you" yummy candy! She made a nice bag of brittle AND my favorites...her yummy yummy caramels! I was thinking while I was eating (LOL!) that Rachel could very well be one of the most talented people I know. She has 2 jobs, she's a fantastic candy maker, baker, cook, cross stitcher, jewelry maker, knitter, card maker, I know there's more...lol. In fact, I'd be surprised if there was something Rachel couldn't do...lol. She's a really great pal and I'm glad she's one of mine. Merry Christmas, Rachel!!

Everything's good here, we're getting ready for my parents to arrive on Friday. My brother's visiting and will be here until Christmas Day when he'll go back with my parents. I'm planning to take him in to downtown Fredericksburg tomorrow. He still has some Christmas shopping to do so we'll be doing that as well. I'm SO glad that my family is on my side of the country now! Hopefully I'll have time to pop in every now and then while they're here. If not, we hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! I know I will cause I'll be with my Mama!

My two are anxiously awaiting Santa's arrival. Me too, I wrote him a note the other day and left it on the kitchen table telling him I want new floors for Christmas. I asked Cassie to give it to Mike to mail for me. LOL!
