Gifts from Far Away (OT)
There's a woman from another ng I've "known" since 1997. She is a very
sweet, wonderful woman who has gone through a LOT of things in her lifetime, including her family fleeing the Nazi's from Austria to NYC when she was a girl. I got a package from her today for the holidays. She sent me genuine Polish sausage and a small loaf of pumpernickel bread. She sent me a potholder with a ladybug - ladybird in other countries - stitched on it and 4 cloth coasters with ladybugs. (There's a story behind that; years ago I had a pan of cornbread cooling by the stove and walked in and found a ladybug crawling around on it. She found that hysterically funny!) OB Cats: She sent me a book, 'Cat's Letters to Santa' which I'll immediately read. She sent *Persia* a couple of pouches of Nutro cat food; turkey & giblets in gravy and chunk chicken in gravy. She sent Peaches the lovebird a small box of cockatiel seed mix (it's find for any small hookbill) which I'll dole out to her as treats. This woman is an absolute angel. Getting that package really made me smile! Receiving all the wonderful cards from people on this ng has most definitely cheered up an otherwise dreary season. So thank you all, too! (And MMJ, you know Persia is very thankful for the catnip pillows from her boyfriend Weeble!) Jill |
