while i wait on a book order from Amazon (ordered in October!), some turtle lights (from a bicycle angel back home), and a couple of other misplaced(?) deliveries that are more than a month overdue, a few Christmas cards and a care package with my name managed to get through.

thank you so much, Brigette! you really know the way to my heart with those tasting-like-home Oreos and a book to supplement my dwindling holiday reading collection. still scratching my head at how lucky i am to have such wonderful friends across Canada and around the world.

thank you!
