A Pleasant Surprise

When one of my sons came home from school today, he yelled “Hey Mom, you got a package.”  Then he gave it to me.  I had no idea what it could be as I wasn’t expecting anything.  Then I looked at who it was from.  We had been discussing her pottery works and  I had asked for pictures.  She said “Send me your addy and I’ll send you a sample, I already have a piece in mind.”  So I sent her the address.  I’ve had people say this to me before, and I really didn’t expect anything.  LO and BEHOLD, here is my package.  I’m so excited and happy I just have to share!
