Belated Birthday Present

I came home and found a package at my door. It was from a dear friend in Washington DC. Hi C.! She is very thoughtful.

First picture is happa Randa for getting fun mail.

2nd Picture is hulka Randa opening up the seriously taped box. It said fragile but I was *digging* into the box just to get it open!

3rd picture is verra happa Randa because my “love language” is gifts and I love cards and I love my name written by a pretty lady with a smiley face in the “y”.

4th picture is of grateful Randa for the fancy journal and “flameless” candle.

I love leather bound journals and I can only imagine all the possible self deprecating jokes about the “flameless” candle … but … I will pass on that. :).

Thank you C.! … but instead of me moving to DC, too expensive and the call of God and all … I think you need to move to Orlando … just sayin’.

R-Man:

You CRACK ME over (as my French stepfather used to mangle up when trying to say).

AND, I love the play-by-play in opening the gift. I felt like I was actually there! What a way to bridge the miles. :)

But, you missed blogging about why I chose the candle...it's POMEGRANATE!!! [Helll-low...your fav bev from Rosa's?!?]

Okay, and the whole 'flameless' thing? It's merely for your safety, friend. You being 40 and all (I'm just say'n).

Tootles, poodles!!

@Cat - I am very glad you enjoyed the pictures almost as much as I enjoyed making this little project.

Yes, and about the pomegranate reference ... I plead the fifth because ... I can. :-p And thanks for looking out for this ol' man.

ciao babe

Ya... you better be grinning. Not too much though... you are as bad as I am.

But consider this... this is only my second overall theme change this year. Lot's of tweaks of course but only two major overhauls :).

LOL on the flameless part. That was pretty dang funny.

You could say you've traded in your flame for THE Flame (Holy Spirit). But... I digress.

Now who would've thought ahead that we'd need that chuckle the same as you did.

Thanks!
