Look what I got in the mail!

Post by I_Dig_it »

After reading about the demise of my Blue Cadet with HVX several members of this forum offered me pieces of theirs.

Being somewhat of a newbie at this forum, I was hesitant to accept offers, but one person convinced me to take some of hers.

Today a large priority box arrived and not only was there a LARGE division of Blue Cadet, but also much to my surprise, a very nice sized Paradigm!

I didn't have Paradigm, but it was on my list to get this year.
I even already had a place ready and waiting to plant it.

Thanks so much LG!

That Lucy IS a sweetheart.

She is the most generous person OC knows. She is always sending him and Joy soap (guess she thinks I get dirty In the yard - and I DO) And she ALWAYS sends us some kind of little ceramic figure. OC's mantle piece has them all on display, except the Squirrel she sent him and it is too big for the Mantle so he keep it on the computer table. Have really gotten lots of nice comments on it Lucy from friends who have come by...Bless your heart and thank you for your generosity.......OC is so appreciative of his good friend, Miss Lucy....

I really did like sending that big clump of BC! :P

And Missy Pia....I go out to that end of the hosta bed and it's so cool seeing that others have lots of room.... :D I am back to when I first used the tape measure there....:lol:

I would volunteer to do it Reldon but you know she'd just get another one. :P She probably has a spare or two anyway. :wink:
