I am very close to my parents, but sadly we don't live close. (It's a 14 hour drive.) As we don't get to see each other often, we are forever sending boxes of things back and forth. This week's parcel:
What is in the kitten mugs, you ask? New panties. Only my mother would send me mugs of panties :-) (Of course, one of my packages to them included a baggy of dog hair to break in their new sofa as they don't have any pets. My mom glued it to a card and made a dog hair panda bear and returned it to me in my next package. I guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree.)
I love getting the boxes. I never know what "surprise" lurks inside, but I know that whatever it is will make me smile.
Happy Summer and happy corner-viewing!
What cool gifts! I like yours and your mom 's sense of humor. :>)
ReplyDeleteCute mugs. Keep some cards with her writing on them, they will be especially precious in the distant future(hopefully VERY distant).
What a creative and loving family you have! I loved the post.
ReplyDeletethis is so nice! what a beautiful and fun way to bridge the distance!
ReplyDeleteYour family package/gifts make me smile!! Great to have such a fun mom who must surely have encouraged you to be the loving creative fun person that you are:))Sounds like along with the packages their loving parenting continues to be a wonderful gift too ♡
ReplyDeleteGifts are links too!!! I do the same with my parents ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the parcel thing and how it keeps both sides happy and smiling! I can totally see myself doing this when the little Tops move out in a decade or so.

PS Thank you for your kind comment regarding the story! I'm not sure there will ever be any official publication. For now, I just concentrate on the fun there is to be had in writing, improving my English, gaining some momentum.
