FOR THE WANT OF A POSTCARD, I was rewarded with a new and very dear friend.

Who knew? All I asked for was a postcard from the land of my husband's desire. I not only received a postcard but so much more.

As if her friendship wasn't enough, the sweet thing sent gifts too!!

** A pictorial book of my friend's "state";
** A calendar of her homeland;
** A bookmark; and
** Two itsy-bitsy "huggy" stuffed animals native only to her homeland.

I hope she does not mind that I shared my joy with you. For it is not every day that someone so special comes into your life. I know she sent these things from her heart and not for a public pat on the back. For that reason, I shan't mention her name but will leave one more "little" hint.

Remember this post:

I'm one of those people who rarely buys things for themselves and am very easily pleased. I've always been happier to give than to receive things, so for my treat I decided to do something nice for someone else.

DH took me shopping after my MRI yesterday and I bought something for someone who will get the shock of their life when it arrives in the mail. It definitely wasn't expensive but my joy will last from yesterday when I bought it, right through until it's arrival in a week or two. Each time I think of this person's surprise (and I hope happiness), I'll continue to feel good.
That's the treat I chose.



You should be feeling fantastic. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Anne.

lemme guess:

*** ding, ding, ding ***

That's so sweet - brought a big smile to my face!!

Isn't it great when you make a new friend - even if they are miles away you can still form that bond of friendship that even distance can't invade.

I'm happy for you!!

I am so excited for you. Making new friends feels so good.

She is one of the most wonderful people I've yet to meet online; Having been on MB's since 1996....I've seen many....Many blessings out to our big hearted woman!!!

Aww Shucks! Thank you everyone for those kind words.

I'm such a softie.....and......in her postcard to me, Carolina did say it was her DH's dream to visit here!

Soooo, if you were a little Koala just lazing your days away up a gum tree, what would you do??

Probably the same as this little Koala did! Send pictures!
