Crustie-
Glad you got it. I was worried. Open at will, but it is not wrapped.
Cheers and merry Xmas.

My package left USPS custody for the great white land to the north (sometimes referred to as America's Hat) early Monday morning. My hope is it will arrive by tomorrow, but my guess is that it might be a bit late. But it's on it's way!!! We just get to spread Christmas out a bit longer!

SideBar Edit: Got a note from a wonderful person late yesterday.... I immediately thought of how happy she'd been when I saw her last... That had me thinking of a song...

Sweet!
Abundant ST SS gifts!
The small tree in our trailer surrounded by SS gifts.
Sipping some Pete's now (couldn't wait!) as I peruse the OR climbing guide. As we travel back to OR in May, then again late summer/fall, it should really come in handy. Was there in Nov, but between lack of good beta and the cold snap it was more of a looky-loo excursion (and early turkey day with my Portland based son)
Thanks SS! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
And happy holidays to the ST family.

hey there all, say... wow, here is my share now...
first off:
sorry a bit late, i could have shared last night, as, it was such a wonderful time with my mommy, on phone, that i DID open my
secret santa, JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT--with my mommy...
*our daddy died, in feb, after being very gravely ill from sepsis, all through mid dec--so i needed my mommy time last night... and
thus, DID not get post the pictures...
so now:
dear bluelens!!! this gift was so fantastic, being that it has more
sentimental memories attached, than you would know...
yellowstone... oh my...
first, when i had to move to a new home, in mich and a younger brother,
helped me move out here, by my daddy's SPECIAL request...
i got to go through yellowstone...
then--i saw yellowstone, through only this time from afar, as i went
to spend time with my dear twin buddies...
then--yellowstone, again, as i did a special painting for bobby model's mom, of him, as a child, by his mom's side, YELLOWSTONE in back!
then--a wonderful video i saw somewhere??? about the 'secret trails' of the hidden yellowstone, ?waterfalls? and all...
NOW--THIS WONDERRFUL art of yellowstone book, from you...
oh, it is a deeper treasure than you will know...
(last year, too, i got a book of john muir, so these both match, as to
the greatoutdoors and things i love to have nearby as being books!!)...
edit:
PLUS of course, i am a painter, so i will love to check out
how i can learn from some of these painting... :)
(some are photographs, too, it seems)...
so now... LEAD UP, to the other gift in this box:
my mom and i always shared about the native american things, when i was
little, as for some reason, i was drawn to the children in many stories and things that i read... i was a big-mommy-at-heart, though just a little girl...
well--here it is:
now i have this little book from you, about
NATIVE AMERICAN PROVERBS !
(MOM used to read me aesop's fables and little sayings, too, as a kid,
so i loved 'sayings' to begin with and proverbs of wisdom, from many
angles and folks) ...
had NEVER seen a book, like this one that you sent!!
much warmth and wisdom to enjoy now, from these books...
thank you so much and happy sweet christmas...
NOTE TO STRIDER:
i love how this supertopo secret santa, joins so many of us, in new ways, old ways, and helps us interact, as to getting to KNOW each other and learn more of each other, too...
HERE IS THE GIFT PIC:
thank you dear bluelens...
happy sweet christmas to you and your family...
ps:
lovely song, there, shared for the facelift friend, rob/jingy
say, songs DO a lot more for us and others, than we realize...
thanks for posting the gifts--that FISH mug is really nice!
you can feel the coolness of the waters, :)
greens and blues, do that, well, to us artist, it really does!
thank you for sharing your heart...
say, extra note:
just saw a neat picture of the 'muppet' of lielabien, with a
GUITAR--there will someday, be a new campfire singer, for the
climbers! ahhhh, youth!
