Was it one of you? There was a very generous gift included and I'd like to know who to thank, even if the donor chose to remain anonymous.
IDENTIFY YOURSELF!!!
If it was someone from here, and you really really wish to stay in the shadows, I thank you as much as is humanly possible! You have no idea how much it helps and how much it means to me. I'll pay it forward as soon as I can.

The gift was too big to have come from Neebs, though her dreamcatcher is hanging proudly in my bedroom.
Locker was my first guess...

hey there say, brandon_... wow, such a wonderful goats... had goats in south texas and love them, too...
but not from me...
i am one of those so engrained with, from daddy and mom:
"you HAVE to use a return address--in case it gets lost"
so it is a lost cause, being anonymous, for me... :)
but there IS a most kind 'anonymous' one, among us, for sure...
:)
thank you for sharing it with us, and making us all smile...
we love this taco-quilt connection, in action...
:)
edit:
ooops, almost forgot... happy good wonderful day, brandon!

alas not i..
but along with the fingerboard thief, and the perceived decline of ethics,
or for that matter literacy,
there are yet, many good people out there.
nice to know,
for all of us!
thanks for posting

No better way to be bumped than by a goat, eh?
Here's a story I've shared with neebee. It happened on Friday, the eighth.
The elevator in our building is STILL NOT RUNNING! They quoted "about 3-4 months" when they took the old one out starting early November, and then we would have a spiffy new one with bells and whistles.
So I still have to park and lock the bike in the lobby. I'd come home from the store with a pretty good load to haul upstairs three flights. It's just a tough, tough grind some days, especially with the weight of groceries.
I had been looking for my keys outside the lobby door, trying to fish them out of my pocket when a young lady and her little girl came to the door, opened it from inside, held it while I brought my bike in, and we said the typical Thanks & You're Welcome.
I staged the grocery bags next to the locked door leading to the mail room and the bottom of the stairway to the upper floors. This same young lady and her daughter had come back in from escorting some friends out to theire car and she saw my bags and offered help.
"Of course, please take a bag up to the third and leave it on the landing, please," I replied.
She picked the heaviest bag, which promptly fell apart, letting the cans, etc., drop to the floor. Lucky her, the big cans of tomato sauce missed her toes!
She immediately gathered the stuff into her arms, bag included, and then she and her daughter preceded me while I finished locking the bike up...the bike was another act of kindness which took place during last year's Facelift thanks to another anonymous donor.
I asked her before she went through the door what her name is, and it's Mimi.
When I got upstairs the lady had gone up to four and I yelled up to her that I would not forget this!
The bag and contents lay next to my door, as promised.
And that's not the only tale I have.
This one concerns an anonymous set of Donors, both Tacoans, the name of only one of which I know, but can't say who.
I found a nice note thanking me for being me and explaining the SIXTY_FIVE DOLLARS INSIDE!
The money has been spent on bills, and let me tell you, it was SO WELCOME.
South, north, east, or west,
We all agree the TACO's the best.
EdBannister, literacy is in its infancy hereabouts. All one can do is to lead by example.
