A Christmas Box after Christmas.....

A package from Guy and Reva arrived yesterday with all kinds of surprises in it. We opened the box - first of find a great throw. Mom stays cold all the time, so they sent her a throw she'll have handy when sitting in the big chair reading...or sleeping...or watching TV...or sleeping! The next surprise out of the box was a Cranberry Mold that they'd promised to send.

The last item out of the box was a......hat? This toboggan-style hat had two slots in it. Defective? No one was sure. Mom tried it on! Nope, not a hat-and a good thing! It made a dad-gum UGLY hat for beast or human!

So what was the treasure?????????

A Tea Cozy....

Needless to say, I'm doing the HAPPY DANCE! We were all relieved! Frankly, I wouldn't've been caught DEAD with mom or Brig either one wearing that darn thing!

Y'all have a nice day now, ya'hear!

  1. That made me laugh out loud! Reminds me of a gift we got from my grandmother once, we had no idea what it was....I think guessing what it was ended up being more fun than actually finding out what it really was (a page holder to hold a book open)

  2. Melissa, you all should have been here! I laughed my rear end off. I didn't think I'd get through the blog. I had to delete several pictures because they were out of focus - I couldn't hold the camera steady!

    Miss you all.

  3. Merc, that it hilarious! I wish I could have been a fly on the wall while all of that was going on. Your family cracks me up.
