One given, one received, all in the same day. I love care packages - they are a recession favorite, an inexpensive (sometimes) way to show love and, dammit, care during tough times, or any time really.

How cool, one sent and one received. Glad you are enjoying it. Love you. Can't wait to skype tomorrow. Going to the farmer's market now, skipping Jazzercise. I'll exercise walking among the veggies. Have fun today.
I'm working on your care/xmas package as we speak! It will be late, sorry:(
