I've already gotten three birthday gifts! Brooke babysat Saturday night, and she knew she wouldn't see me again until after my birthday, so she gifted me with the perfect T-shirt:
Then yesterday I got a package from Laura; her sister had taken a day trip to Laredo and mailed it for her. I got these lovely amber earrings, which I wore today:
Then today, I got a package from Judy. She was supposed to have visited over the weekend, but Tony and Tomas were both sick, so she had to cancel her trip. So she mailed my gift instead of handing it to me:
It's a package of PG Tips (as if she knew I was running out!) and a much-coveted Shun knife! She also taped a penny to the packing material, explaining that a friend should never give a friend a knife or else risk severing the friendship, but a friend may sell a friend a knife. But a friend should never cause a friend to go out of her way to find the money to make the purchase, so she sent along a penny that I can give her in payment for the knife next time I see her. Gotta love those old wives' tales!
Am I lucky, or what? And it's not even my birthday yet. I have such good friends.
The shirt is fantastic and the earings & knife are great, too! You have good friends :-)
