A Very Merry Surprise

The UPS man came yesterday.

"What did I order?" I asked myself.

"Did I get something on Amazon and forget about it? No, I don't think so."

The box was big. And it was heavy. And it was marked "fragile."

I panicked for a moment that live animals might be inside. "Did I accidentally order those ducks I wanted in my sleep?" But there were no air holes so that fear was quickly squashed.

Inside I found two complete place settings of these:


Lenox "Holiday" dinnerware!

What a happy Christmas in June surprise!!

The mystery gifter was my dear generous Aunt, who shares my love of china. What a thoughtful woman she is!

I couldn't help but smile for the rest of the day.

Have you had any pleasant surprises lately?
