Thanks for everyone who took part in this for me. Several people have sent pms and emails who have sent things that did not arrive as of yet. We do not have Saturday mail delivery in Canada. Monday is another holiday (Boxing Day) so our next mail delivery will not be until Wednesday. I have sent a PM or phoned everybody who took time from their holiday season to make mine a better one.
So far I have received a hand painted covered candy dish with a Goose nested on top, A nice old duck decoy along with a George Foreman grill ( with a crock pot) A nifty hat and a huge package of HIGH Calories nuts, A honey bear with bells attached and a pair of pocketknives with a wonderful Goose on the handle, A flashlight, Some exquisite chocolates which were so good they were almost obscene. A pretty brass goose tree decoration which happend to be the only goos on the tree this year. A brain twister of a wooden puzzle along with some glass horse tree decorations, a ceramic horse ornament, A unique box of decorations which were so sweet all individually wrapped and a note attached to each and every one, Two miniature Goose decoys which strangely resemble some I used to own a few months ago, A beautifully framed picture of a boy herding his geese and a Wonderfully soft blanket cover with of course geese. I might just use that on the back of my couch because its to pretty to put on a bed. A Hickory farm Food basket. A unique fridge magnet with an excellent motivational saying on it. A pari of warn winter glover a huge package of jerky which the dogs seemed to want to share (not) , A jar of huckleberry jam and a bag of treats from Idaho. An pi with an angel of happiness, a medallion of the footprints of God which has been in my pocket ever since it arrived. Then thee was a beautiful copper wall hanging of ducks taking off from a marsh.
For the people whose gift did not meet the Postal Service deadline I will of course let you know when they arrive and continue to thank each and every one of you.
There have been so many cards that it would be impossible to just list them all. I will of course be saving them or a long time to come. There is a safe here that has plenty of room to safely protect things I value. Thats where these cards will stay as a reminder of all the people who went out of their way to help an old Goose when he was down.
Spotted Pony Girl deserves a special mention. She just manages to write or send a card every time I need a boost. My hope for her and all the forum members it that this Christmas Holiday has been everything you wanted. God Bless each and every one of you. Regards Geese
