Cool

I know, I'm sorry. You're right, my Tippy deserves 1st class everything.

The truth: I was still a bit "under the weather" and I asked my husband to take the parcel to the post office. He gave me a "look" .... this is the 3rd time I've sent them off on an adventure ... so I quickly said "send them the cheap way" .... I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking, I was under the influence of a lot of cough syrup ... it will never happen again, I promise.

Talking Direct From Canada...




BIG SIGH! RELIEF! Tipsy & Company have arrived. Sam The Mailman had to ring my doorbell. The box couldn't fit in my giant mailbox. Oy. Their *upholstered* trunk is kind of heavy.

Anyway -- ALL ARE WELL AND ACCOUNTED FOR. It is a joy to see Tiptoe again, to gander through all the baggies (bless the Ziploc company) and everyone's entries, pics and such. Great to finally meet Tex and the little rubber chicken (from Aves lab -- so I am temporarily calling her Avis). I went to school w/an Avis.

Ed the gang is sending you healing energy at this very minute. And Marie, they are sending both of you LOVING energy to make you smile.

I will soon be ready to mail them off, after our big reunion party planned for tomorrow.

I SEEM TO RECALL THAT FLORI HAD A YEARNING TO BE ON THE LIST. Beverly Hills is lovely this time of year. Anyone else have an urgent need to have some happy little guests?

With hugs and kisses,
