He sent a bandana for MuShu and Jack one each, personalized by the local embroider-er.

Brownies.

A soup cooks books, a cheese cooks books. And I'd have to check w/ him what else. :sigh: :sigh:

Thanks I'll pass on your words of encouragement.

I sure hope TrialbyFire gets her package soon. :luck: Seems like it should've been there by now. :(
Good things sure do come to those who wait!!!!! Holy cow!! Thank you so much SnackPack!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

My *favorite* UPS guy just arrived with a super bonanza package of awesome things!! California olive oil, tortilla chips, grooming combs, a shedding brush, an ultimate hoof pick, a scrubby sponge (my dirty, filthy horse stories must have given you some ideas, and I can definitely use all of these items!!!), socks, a silver stock pin, a really awesome solid silver horse keychain, a cookie press to make horsey cookies (right? I've never done molded cookies but it certainly looks like that's what it is....my kids are thrilled!), a new book, and I had already gotten the saddle pad. Wow!!! We are already enjoying the chips!! They are great!! I can't wait to read the book - I'm currently without a good book so it's perfect timing!!

Look at my new avatar.....Ms. Wealthia when she heard the news that presents had arrived!! [*She's not exactly thrilled about the idea of a bath, but maybe she'll settle for some chips?]

Here is a picture:

Thank you so much!!! PS, which thing did you think might be illegal?? ;) I thought the olive oil might be wine and I think that would be illegal, but I'm not sure about oil. :teehee:
Yeah!!!!! I'm soooooooo very happy it finally arrive. Goodness, I was getting worried.

I was going to do a little 'local products' theme but got stopped at the chips and olive oil. :teehee: In fact, my boss makes the olive oil....but I don't work for him in that business venture (winery with a really old olive orchard). The illegal product was going to be a bottle of his fantastic Stillwaters wine. I bought it and then had to drink it myself because he told me I couldn't ship it to you. :clap: I mean :no:

There was also a wee bit of a 'my favorite things' theme: the hoof pick, the flower shedder (also great for bathing...I use mine year round), and the Zocks.

Yep, that's a cookie press. I'm not sure how it will work, but I figured the kids could have fun trying to make horse imprinted cookies.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy and I hope it was worth the wait. :innocent:

P.S. Sorry there were no bows. I was planning on putting pretty bows on everything but it was delaying the sending so I just went 'to hell with it;...and sent it without 'em.

It was totally worth the wait!!! Very cool about the home-grown olive oil, that is so neat. No olive trees here in NY! I'll get good use out of the hoof pick - you wouldn't believe how hard ice balls can be; those cheap ones from TSC will not do the job - but the bath will have to wait and so will the Zocks. It's 18 degrees right now, and I'm scheduled to ride Friday morning but it is expected to -3F (without a windchill...) so I'm thinking I'll bag. I'm pretty tough, but come on. It's supposed to be fun, right?

Maybe we'll make horse imprinted cookies on Friday instead...that's horse-related so my trainer should be ok with it. ;)

Thanks again!! (PS bows are overrated, anyway! They always get crushed in transport!)

:clap: :clap: :clap:

WOW, you guys! Holy smokes! Talk about a posse of Santas! I'm feelin' the love <3
I am back from the Cape and visiting my stepdad. He is doing much better- in the sense that he is eating and able to get around a tad. I think having me come up breathed some fire into him and gave him some excitement. I hope he doesn't wilt now that I am gone :sigh:

Anyway-many thanks to all who jumped aboard the de-grinching ship. I will look for the box on the 15th! :cheer:

Scotchie, my package may take a bit longer than the 15th (my elven hat is off to the elf who was so quick with the shopping, wrapping, and shipping) but rest assured you WILL have a package from me as well! I'll let you know when I am loading up the sleigh, okay?!

I posted my thank you in a new thread so that Coriander's Santa would be sure to see it. I wish I knew who she *really* was! ( I have her REAL name but not her screen name when she's not an elf!)
