If you made it, the good news is the parcel has arrived. The bad news is that I'm at work and Rev T and the Tubblet have worked out the parcel may have chocolate in it ... Which needs to be checked by caring family members for quality control purposes!

Nooooooooooo! They'd better only be checking with their eyes!

Oh, my. The most gorgeous box arrived today from See's Chocolates. They are little works of art. I ate one immediately as an appetizer. I'm thinking I need another one for dessert. Thank you, Lyda*Rose!

Thanks so much, Beethoven! They have arrived. Just right - and more or less at the same time as my grandchildren. So we'll all be sharing in the experience!!
Your kindness is personally appreciated - and no doubt communally as well.

There were also some very nice picture cards.

So, what you're saying is that it has great personality. Which is really just code for not-that-good-looking. No wonder there's so much distilling in Scotland, so that you can drink until you think you're somewhere else.
Still, the chocolate is quite nice.

And, after a nice long trip across the ocean, IT'S HERE! Chocolate, local photos to go in my local-photos-from-Shipmates display (yes, I do have one!), and bawdy Elizabethan songs! The last one's particularly appropriate for many reasons, the least of which not being that, well, medieval student songs are one of my quirky odd interests.
Thank you so much CK! Yay!
. . . now to eat that chocorrit . . .
