Avalanche of Awesomeness:

I’m sure I’ve posted before about the kindness of . But the thing is, we’re not talking about one isolated incidence of kindness, no, she just keeps going and going. has a heart as big as Texas. No surprise, since that’s the state she calls home.

Why do I bring this up? She sent not one but TWO care packages to us. One for my daughter and one for me. First, let’s check out Em’s. She’s remembered Em’s love of space and sent a sticker book (ALWAYS a good choice) and another book on the subject. Also, a bendy toy that is adorable. Topping it off we have a variety of Texan treats. Austinuts cinnamon pecans, Cowtown cookies and Texas Chewie pralines. Mmmmm!

Now let’s check out my package! Holy frijoles!
First of all, note that has wisely included snacks with my package as well. This is good, as otherwise there was a very real chance that I would steal my daughter’s. Altruism only goes so far, you know.

There are several other me-specific items such as a fridge magnet reading, I dreamed my whole house was clean…” Heh. She knows me.

And check it out. I got yarn! Sock yarn! It’s Plymouth Happy Feet, which I didn’t even know existed. I’m very excited to have a new brand of sock yarn to play with. AND she got me needles appropriate to the yarn. The ball band calls for size 2, but she got size 1, which is perfect because I am a loose knitter, as I have said many times on this blog. Is that thoughtful or what?

, as usual I am blown away by your generosity of spirit. I count myself lucky to know you. Thank you. I owe you more legwarmers!
