"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Better than Christmas?

On Friday the kids and I arrived home to SEVEN - count 'em - SEVEN packages on our front porch.  All we needed was a Christmas tree.

2 boxes of books to review....
2 boxes of actual Christmas presents I had ordered for the upcoming season....
1 Grandma package....
1 Emily package with new winter clothes for GQ....
and one package for Justin, wouldn't want to forget him....

For someone who LOVES mail.... it was a very happy day.

i'm jealous. I got a faucet I bought on ebay - that was pretty exciting - but 7 in a day!
