Big Surprise!!!


Step outside a minute ago and
THERE IS A BOX OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last week I was a WINNER at FARMER'S WIFE, and I couldn't even get to sleep that night because I was so excited. AND TODAY THE PRIZE BOX IS HERE!!!! The thing is, farmer's wife is so funny and generous, I really have to thank her for making me smile and laugh everyday and now A BOX OF LOOT from South Texas. Thanks Farmer's wife!
I brought the dog in instead of walking her, you KNOW I GRABBED THE scissors. But then I held back and figured I should wait until dinnertime when the missus is here....
Sherlock Holmes has noticed, however that:
-the box is very heavy
-the beagle, as you can see, wanted to OPEN IT RIGHT UP
-the box is beautifully colored by young and creative hands, I have NEVER had a custom colored box on my doorstep, EVER
-it clunks a bit when I shake it--maybe I shouldn't shake it?

I have done just about nothing today so far except:
-blog obsessively and crazily, and read all of YOUR blog entries too
-get this box
-walk the dog, twice
-drank extra coffee, read blogs and a book, eaten puffins cereal
-went to the mechanic, which is not too far away (which is good, 'cause I walk home) and they say, BLESS THEIR HONEST HEARTS that it is a not difficult or expensive repair on the filler pipe, not the gas tank or anything else

SO, quite a day, no excuse for not getting some actual WORK DONE this afternoon.
I am firing in the baby kiln, actually, an order for Knight and another order for Art on a limb...hopefully looking good tomorrow.

YAY!!! Wait? You DIDN'T open it? Man, you have some real control, and patience there!

Sorry your's didn't have actual pictures on it. Lil'Gal went for free art that day! LOL!

Read the recipe before you touch the sweets cuz' I might have something in them that you don't eat? But, I know you like peanut butter -- and, everyone wanted chocolate...so....

[I know why Penny wants to open it now ;-) ]

Knight said...

AH! I'm so excited! To see what you made and to see the loot. Don't shake it to much just incase she found a way to sneak in the Schiner Bock.

What are you making for knight? I'm curiously nosey?

I'm going to miss the box opening! We have an ice cream party at the school, they gymnastics, then dinner, then, then, then??

I guess I'll just have to be patient myself until this PM.

I am trying to be a polite and considerate husband to my HAWT wife--she deserves a petite surprise too, eh?

Gordo said...

Puffin cereal? I thought you were a veg, Gary? ;-)

I would have opened it and phoned Bridget about it ... :-)
