Band-Aids, Surprises and a Good Laugh

1. Waking to find the band-aid I put on my elbow before bed, still there. For three nights in a row, the Target brand band-aid has rolled right off in the middle of the night. The keeper? A REAL Band-Aid. Sometimes, you get what you pay for.

2. A package arrives from my two sisters who live in Georgia. Britt watches as I tear into it like a kid on Christmas morning. Inside the box, smothered in bubble wrap, is a beautiful covered candy dish made of amber glass with a bag of Dove milk chocolates to fill it. There is an amber glass domed round butter dish with a delicately scalloped rim and a pressed floral design. There is a model ship made from wood with cloth sails for me to spray paint white and add to my ship collection for the bedroom I will soon be redecorating. It also includes gardening magazines to drool over and a beautiful card with a cloth-covered button. Sisters make life better!

3. My sister and I have a good laugh via cell phone as we discuss the fact that she put a bag of Dove chocolates in my gift box. A box she drove around in her car for several days in the heat of a Georgia summer before mailing it to me. All I'll say is, if you are craving chocolate, even melted, re-solidified calico colored chocolate that sort of crumbles and is very difficult to remove from the foil wrapper can satisfy!
