Fun Mail

 Yesterday as the girls and I were heading to the Post Office to mail some mail (and buy some of the fabulous farmers market stamps) we got to talking about how it had been awhile since we last sent mail to our friends in Canada. We chatted about what to send them next, mailed what we needed to mail and headed back home. With this discussion still fresh in our minds we were very surprised to see Grace come running down from our mailbox with a package in her hands and bursting with excitement. "Mama! Mama! Look! A package from our friends!" We quickly found a spot to sit and opened the mail. Inside we found a note for each girl (and one for me!) and two little parcels wrapped up. We read the girls' notes, then each one selected something to open. Grace opened the package that contained the sweet felted acorns ("she makes the best things, mama!") and Emma opened the healing salve ("It smells so good, mama! Can I use some on my boo-boo right now?"). It should be noted that as of this posting her boo-boo (which was very prominent) is now healed! Thanks, Kim! So, now we have two girls who want to learn all about how to use plants to make healing items, and we surely have our work cut out for us when it comes to what to send to our very talented and generous friends! xo
