Wattle sent me a little gift package in the mail.  It had a towel set with Australia animals on it and two oven mitts to math, some shoelaces from an organization that goes towards organ donations,chocolate, mmmmmmmm, and some sweets.  It has been a rough day since dialysis Monday and it made my entire day! Her card that was enclosed was sweet.  Thank you so much Ms. Wattle!

Kit sent me a package today, too.   I got a little tapestry footstool with storage drawers in it.  My cat thinks it is a throne.    ;D
All these angels at work, cheering us up!  Thanks, kitty!

Surprise packages are always the best!  A small gesture from a friend can make such a difference!

No, often it is just an random act of kindness. I sent Wattle and her kids American candy. So she returned the favor for me.

So do a random act of kindness for a fellow board member.  If you need an address I am sure the admins can help out. I have secret pal addys from Christmas time.
