Lucky girl am I....
All the way from Warwickshire in England to Warwick Lane in Santa Cruz (obviously the developers in my neighborhood were Anglophiles.
Ah Ah Ah, ART! Couldn't be a more perfect gift as we just bought a new house in Moab with big blank walls!.
This has a lovely story about my Santa's Wife (probably Mrs. Andy...if my sleuthing is correct) who did tutoring and was offered art work in exchange. These are well known and historical grist mill stones near Stanage.
You can see I got a beautifully matted picture and 3 similar cards in different color schemes. They are exquisite, beautiful and absolutely something I NEEDED!
Thank you sooooo sooooo much..
Susan

hey there say, happygrrl... :) oh my... can't take credit for the shine:
as to the 12 days, say,:
the band leader can only lift the 'baton' but it takes
good band members to JOIN in , that really care, and really love
what they do, to give the SONG of christmas friendship-and-cheer, :)
this is a good band, here, that gives great care in
their giving of well-thought gifts, and were so happy to join in!
i remember so many times, we have all been there for each other,
here, at the taco...
this is more of that overflow from climbers!
they see camaraderie :) season in, and season out...
:)
you all are a world, to your own, you climbers... :)
wow, and on a side note, happiegrrl, you have done
some very special 'hugs by email' for me, over the
past years!!!! wish i could give you a real hug,
some day!!
happy sweet christmas, you card is in the p.o. box, for you!!!!
:)

Just finished reading the LA Climbs book today. It will be a coffee table book for a long time.
That LA buildering architecture break-down is so cool, even if in humor - thanks Secret Santa!

Phylp - Glad you are enjoying the gifts. You have tremendous self control if there is chocolate left. That was a single serving size for me! Looking forward to meeting you in 2015.

Just got home and finally opened my gift.
Very nice.
The hat and t shirt are cool, and will get much use.
The card is the best. It is a water color painting entitled "Fire Fall, Camp Curry", by Annie Barrett Cashner, Yosemite , California.
What is written in the card is very kind, uplifting, inspirational, and thoughtful.
Thanks Supertopo Secret Santa.

Not sure why.... but I got gifted from people I didn’t know knew me at all… who wish me well anyway….
I appreciate this gift.
Day seven.
Gift Seven, from: Jaybro, Mouse Of Merced
(Sorry, don’t have the guts for selfies) Edit - so i apply the footie
From: Rob
To: Jaybro and Mouse Of Merced - Thank you very much for the bedazzled, patched and embroidered vest and knitted socks. You are too kind… I appreciate the sentiment behind the giving of this gift. The socks are a great buffer layer for the feet. The vest has my name on it, so I know I’ll never loose it, nor will I forget my favorite place.. Thank you both.
Cheers,
Rob

I''m glad it finally arrived, Steve! Looked at plenty of photos of you. Their tie tacs seemed out of place. ;-)
I love that jewellery. They're tiny tiny working miniatures of the real stuff.
