Once again, you can be jealous of us because of the awesomeness of my Aunt Edith. :-)
We had a two boxes waiting for us this afternoon when we returned home from school. One was a birthday present for Jack, and the other was addressed to me. There were a ton of messages stamped all over the box, and it was hard to make heads or tails of anything. It was also covered in plastic (good, for it was raining), so I sliced open the plastic to pull out the paper inside. Honestly, I was wondering what I must've ordered and forgotten about, especially for being in such an odd-shaped box.
Imagine my pleasant surprise when I opened the card to find a unique piece of stationery - photographs of an overflowing peach tree and peaches all over countertops and in boxes. Inside the card, my Aunt Edith went on to tell me how overabundant the peach tree is this summer, and she included a poem about peaches for the boys. Inside the box? Gold! Well, golden peach jam, that is - fresh from the tree and made just this month. Peach jam! I'm so excited to try it! It looks like we might have toast or biscuits for dinner tonight! :-)
Jack's box held a gift from Uncle Chris and Aunt Amy, and we were all surprised to find that he received his very own digital camera! Not only that, but it is a Disney® Pirates of the Caribbean™ digicam - he can take 200 pictures with it at a time! I'll be sure to share some of his inaugural shots later on.
And I received a hefty envelope from my dear friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kpnut as well. She wrote me a lovely note, and inside the package was the spiffiest pen - it's bright orange, it has a nice, wide grip space, and it has my name engraved on the clip. Perfect for writing more letters to Kelly! Thanks so much, sweets!
Aaaaaaaannnnndddd, Mondays are always good for freebies. I think the post office stockpiles them and delivers them on Mondays just to make folks' days brighter. It certainly works for me! Here's the list of the freebies from this past week:
( Listy stuff. )
So! What was in your mailbox today? :-)
