I went home to visit my parents this weekend. It was the weekend before my mom’s birthday (Hi Mom!) and so my sister and I decided to surprise her. We set it up with my dad to make sure she would be home on Friday night. We both drove home that day and met up a few blocks from my parents’ house. We drove over together and rang the doorbell… she was very surprised! (My sister and I both live over 2 hours’ drive away, so we don’t get home too often.)
This is a picture from Seasons restaurant in Gallatin, MO. It is only open on Friday and Saturday, but if you’re ever in northwest Missouri and looking for a good meal, this is your place!
I got Surprise #2 when I came back home to Springfield on Sunday afternoon. I was talking to my husband on the phone while I was driving back and he told me I had gotten a package in the mail. I figured it was from my Secret Pal, so I told him to open it. He found these little packages inside. He said, “it feels like yarn” and left them for me to open when I got home.
So, what was inside the packages, you ask?
Well, I got quite a haul for my first SP gift. Dark chocolate Hershey kisses, a darning needle, a cute little notebook, some blank card with a knitting theme, the self-patterning sock yarn of course, AND a gift card to Barnes & Noble to buy myself a knitting book!
Thanks Secret Pal! You totally spoiled me. And I love it.
How sweet. I’m sure your mom was very touched. And what a great SP gift package.
Great picture of the family!
The gifties from your scret pal are so cool – you lucky duck!
