I love surprises!

Today I came home to a box at the front door. Thinking it was something that I had ordered online I carried it inside. The box said Sherrys Berries ! That couldn't be; it must be a recycled box. But no! It was Sherrys Berries and it was addressed to me. And may I tell you inside were the biggest strawberries ever covered with about a 1/2 inch of chocolate, nuts on some, coconut, choc chips and some with plain (ha) old chocolate. MMMMM they are good too! I ate three as I was trying to control myself all afternoon so I could share with Gale. Also included was a box of chocolate (white and dark, and milk) cherries with the stems on them. Yum! And may I say that this was so fun, because it wasn't something that I had been yearning for, but it was a surprise. I guess there is still some kid left in this old woman. I have everything in the world that I want and need but I still love sweet surprises. So, Thanks Mitch and Jody for todays excitement. And thanks to all the rest of you for the love and excitement I always get from you too. I love my family even better than surprises. Presents are fun but it is the sweetness behind them that make them meaningful. Like a visit from two daughters when they knew better than I did that I was sad about my brothers death. Like re-arranging their lives to take care of a helpless mother after knee replacement. Like all the sweet meaningful notes and cards and phone calls. Wow am I blessed.
