The doorbell rang yesterday, and the kids received the mail and this package from our mailman. They brought it to me, and I saw that it was from my friend Christy in Oklahoma. It was fairly heavy for a small package, and I went through a mental list of what it could possibly be. (I wasn’t expecting any packages from her.) Then, I remembered that she reads this blog (it’s been such a fun way to keep in touch with her), and that I made a joking request a couple of posts ago for a care package for ingredients to a favorite recipe of mine – ingredients that I won’t buy here in New England very often, because they are so expensive!
And then before even opening it completely I thought to myself……AVOCADOS!
I started laughing. When I told the kids the story, they started laughing too. And we really needed a good laugh – it had not been the prettiest of homeschool mornings! This unexpected care package lightened our moods and made our day. Humor is such a blessing – one that doesn’t come naturally to this take-everything-way-too-serious-girl, but I love it when I can laugh with good friends and my family. Thanks for giving us a good laugh this week, Christy – not to mention good guacamole, avocado salsa, turkey/avocado sandwiches, etc. We’re in avocado heaven for the next few days! (P.S. They arrived in PERFECT condition – amazing!)
How wonderful! Next time ask for something that will pass international customs inspections and I will gladly be the next care-package donor… 🙂
Christy beat me to it! Believe it or not, I have a box full of 3 for 99 cents avocados on my kitchen counter ready to send!!!! Ok… so I won’t overwhelm you with these green wonders. I’ll wait a couple of weeks and send some more when you are remembering fondly the wonderful treats you made with Christy’s.
And CHRISTY, thanks for loving my sis! 😉
How GORGEOUS! I thought about sending you some, too, but figured Melissa would take care of ya. 🙂 what a dear friend.
