I've only been across the boarder once when I was visiting friends in Yuma AZ. I'd love a huge hat, but that would be a hard to mail. :rotfl2:

I always hope I'm not offending anyone with the postal comment, 'cause the first thing that comes to my mind when I type is...http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee62/rhonda6699/gun.gif

:wave: Good morning.

[Meriweather]

All names have been picked up. Happy shopping!!

[pennst8r]

you guys are too fast for me! It's so stinkin hot here, I don't want to move. (I know, 97 isn't hot for alot of places!) it's just that we had no spring to ease us into it. :goodvibes

I'll get going tonight or tomorrow. ::yes::

[Meriweather]

I'll take 20 degrees of that for you, Lynne.
And yes, 97 IS hot!!
We had no spring either, we're just staying in winter :cold:

[pennst8r]

How soon til you move to AZ? My 97 will look cool to you. :goodvibes I love how my friends say "But it's a DRY heat!" So is my oven. :rotfl2:

[Meriweather]

We move in winter....hopefully.
But dry heat is easier ;) I HATE humid. I have been to AZ in July and it was fine. I wouldn't want to stay out in it for hours, but it was okay for short times.

Just back from weekend getaway to San Diego. Went to Sea World for DH b-day. Now, it is time to send off the exchange!! Oh , what a WEEK!:cool1:

[pennst8r]

Wow! :yay: I got such a great package today--thank you so much Nancy!

It was jam packed full of Washington items.

-Cranberry Aplets--which I didn't know what they were, but they're good! (Kind of a jelly candy)
-Tourism books all about the area, plus a Museum of Flight book and keyring
-Seagull earrings that her DH made--really cool
-Huckleberry preserves...we're big jelly fans, so I'm guessing it won't last long
-Aplets and Cotlets Mug and pin
-Wooden slug--I put it by my plants and each kid has noticed it and jumped throughout the day :rotfl2:
-Cypress clock (her DH's company)
-Minnie antenna topper
-Minnie pen
-chocolate truffle YC tart

hope I didn't forget anything. You definitely made my day!
Thanks again! :worship:

[Meriweather]

:woohoo: Glad it arrived, Lynne.
Hope you enjoy it all.
::yes:: The 'lets factory is close by. We stop when we go over to visit DD. They are a jelly like thing...some with nuts.
Slugs are VERY common around here, so they are definitely a local thing :rotfl: With our cold weather right now, they are all over :rolleyes:
I LOVE the huckleberry things, so had to share that.

Hopefully the other I sent will arrive today also. ;)

[mommytotwo]

I had sent out my exchange today :).

[Meriweather]

The second package I sent was delivered yesterday :)

[Evita_W]

The second package I sent was delivered yesterday :)

YES IT WAS!!!! :rotfl2: I did not get a chance to post yesterday sorry...

A wonderful exchange by Merriweather!! We got so lucky! :worship: The coolest thing I thought was that it was wonderful to get all the travel magazines for Seattle. This was cool because #1, We LOVE Travel Magazines, and #2 we have friends that recently moved to Seattle and we have been wanting to come up that way. :goodvibes

We also got...

Dis Pins with our names on them! We plan to wear them on our WDW trip in December!
Huckleberry Jam (This looks so yummy!)
Earrings made by DH
Chocolate fruits
Mickey Antenna topper
Keychain from Museum of Flight
Calculator from Cypress (DH company--what kind of company is it? :confused3 )
Washington Pin
Slug...(slimy yet satisfying)...hahaha:rotfl:
Mt. St. Helens mug and Postcard

Thank you so much!!! We love it!::yes::

Ours is going out tomorrow, I hope it gets there by the end of the week! :yay: Can't wait to hear!

[Meriweather]

:yay: Glad it arrived, Eva. Hope you both enjoy it all.
DH's company makes micro chips ;)

hope you get to make it up this way. It is beautiful....but cold right now :cold:

[JLitfin]

I need to apologize, I'm not going to be able to get my package out by friday the 13th which is the send by date. The store that I usually shop at for these type of exchanges is only open on the weekends, so I won't be able to shop until friday. Didn't get there last weekend because of my son's graduation and graduation parties, so I need to wait till this friday. Don't worry I'll get it out as soon as I purchase my items and pack it up. Once again sorry.

[Meriweather]

Not a problem, Jean. Thanks for checking in.
We have a few people that won't be mailing until Sat.

[Meriweather]

Anymore mailings?
Remember Friday is mail day.
I have a couple of people that have contacted me about mailing a bit later, be sure and let me know if you can't get it out by Friday.

[kimbac3]

Mine will be going out today.
I've had a rough week but I did manage to get some shopping done!!
I'll post again when it's in the mail!!

Kim

[Meriweather]

How are things going, Kim. Any news?

Tomorrow is mail day, everyone. We still have 7 packages out of the 11 to go out.

[pennst8r]

Mine went out this morning. :moped:

[Pooh Girl 71]

Mine is boxed up and ready to go. I will put it in the automated postal machine tonight.

[kimbac3]

Mine went out this morning Priority mail.

How are things going, Kim. Any news?

We took her to see the Dr yesterday. All her tests came back that she is "normal" (yeah, I had fun teasing her with that one!). Meaning that as far as the tests go she does NOT have diabetes. Which is kind of what we thought. What her problems are from - that's still a mystery. Although the problems that brought us to the hospital haven't resurfaced since. It's all very odd and I'm being to think it's more of a hormonal imbalance.

So we've step her down to almost no insulin and she's free to eat whatever. She's thrilled!! Her dance recital is tomorrow so we'll see how she does then. Thanks for asking!!

Kim

[Meriweather]

Glad the news is good.....hopefully whatever it was, was a one time thing and won't come back.
Good luck at the dance recital.

[Evita_W]

:yay: Glad it arrived, Eva. Hope you both enjoy it all.
DH's company makes micro chips ;)

hope you get to make it up this way. It is beautiful....but cold right now :cold:

That is cool about your DH's company!

Yes, I would LOVE to get up there!! I do not mind the cold at all. :woohoo: I am sorry I was going to get out our exchange early and just have been so wrapped up in stuff for DH's b-day that I have not gotten to the post office. I will getting it out tomorrow, I PROMISE!!:yay:

Have a great day!!

[Meriweather]

It is nicer today :sunny:
That is fine Eva......tomorrow is the mail date, so all is good.
Anyone else mail?

[Meriweather]

TODAY is mail day!!
I have 2 people that checked in that are mailing a day or so late.
That still leaves 3 more to get in the mail. Please check in and let us know.

[Meriweather]

Update....2 packages are supposed to be mailed today.

So far, everybody's exchanges sound GREAT!!

[Meriweather]

It was worth it!

I love my new mug. It is the raised and relief designed kind. I really like that style. My son thinks the crab is cool.
Also inside the box:
Chesapeake Coffee
Soy candle (My son stole this, the bear inside is a cute touch)
Old Bay seasoning (now my DS things I need to go buy crabs to cook)
Maryland linen/towel
and a
Mallet ? Is this for bad boys or cracking crabs?

Thanks so much. It was a great exchange.

I'm so glad you liked everything. Use the mallet anyway you like, but around here we use it to crack crabs open. The Old Bay can be used on other things besides crabs, we really enjoy the taste of Old Bay. Can you get crabs for streaming in Ohio? One of our favorite past times is eating stream crabs during the summer.

Only previously frozen ones. Not sure what that would taste like. But I'll bring it with me to Red Lobster. :lmao:

[Meriweather]

LOL.....wonder what Red Lobster would think ;)

Anyone else receive today??

[JLitfin]

My package came today as well, it was a wonderful package, a big thanks goes out to Chris and Eva. I love everything. About 24 years ago I visited LA and Knott's Berry Farm, while on a trip to Hawaii with a stop over in CA. Had such a great time on that trip. Plus, my DH and I lived in Santa Rosa, CA right after we got married but never made down to the LA area. We only made it as far down the coast as BIG SUR. One of these days I'll return for a visit. I'll have to drag my DH to southern CA to visit Disneyland. Can't wait.

Here's what I received, all from Knott's Berry Farm
a tee shirt & hat package
Biscuit mix
Season Pack for fried chicken
6 small shortbread cookie packages (Apricot, Boysenberry, Blueberry & Raspberry)
3 small jams (Blackberry, & Orange Marmalade)
Plus I received
a TOP 10 Los Angeles travel book
a Los Angeles mag
postcards from Disneyland

Thanks again. :yay:

[JLitfin]

When we lived in CA we were always looking for Dungness (sp) crabs that were still alive that we could stream up. The minute that took them off the boats they boiled them. One afternoon we happen to be at the docks when they were removing them from the boats and got some alive, came home and streamed them up the Md way, boy were they good. Only needed 1 crab to our 12 Md crabs. Experiment with the Old Bay you will love it.

[Meriweather]

Glad to hear of another arrival. The list is getting shorter :)

Loved Knott's Berry Farm as a kid :) not as much last time :( Lots of good memories though.

[Meriweather]

4 more to go!!

3 should be getting close. We do have 2 that are Canana related, so be patient ;)

[cabmom]

Mine was sent priority and was supposed to take 5 days or less.
I've received nothing at my end yet.
