Straight from the usps.com website this morning. I should have known.

 

[Meriweather]

I looked on there and they listed it as 2008 dates....guess they are slow to update.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Meriweather!!! Gosh, that was sent parcel post, but with tracking...because I knew you weren't home at the time. Do you believe it got to you so fast? It never even dawned on me to see where it was!

I hope you enjoy the biscotti and teas...I feel the same way about dried cranberries! Oh, and the Peppermint Celestial Tea! It's so potent!!! It's been 10+ years since we visited the Celestial Tea homesite. They keep the Peppermint leaves in a special place, when you enter it brings tears to your eyes...But, I love the taste a lot!!! Thank you so much. You bring much joy to so many of us!!!!

Enjoy your next trip home to OKW!!!

It was mailed priority With DC and insured!! You left nothing out

Gotta love potent tea. I like flavor in everything. I always add extra of those kind of things, so I would definitely be loving that you can taste it.

We leave Wed. for 9 nights
Thank you again....it was so nice to meet you in Nov. Hopefully our trips will cross paths again sometime.

Nancy -- Make sure to go to at least one soft opening of American Idol Experience! So far each one I have sat through one judge was a former AC/CW cast.
I don't care about AI at all. However the AIE is pretty good.

 

[Meriweather]

We will check it out....always have to try everything once
Not an AI fan either

Wow! I am impressed!
I just rec'd a wonderful package from KristineN.
It came from adigio teas.
I rec'd an ingenuiTEA, where I can steep loose tea "as easy as using a bag". (Oh -- this even came gift wrapped!)
PERFECT for work. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow. There are tea lovers on my team and we share teas quite often. I am sure they will check this out too.
In addition I got some tins of loose teas: Irish breakfast; English breakfast; Yunnan Jog; Earl Grey. (Never heard of Yunnan Jig. Looking forward to trying it.)
AND all this came with a book, "A Guide to Tea".

Very cool!! Can't wait to try it out tomorrow and show it off!
Much more than I expected. THANKS so much!

 

[KristineN]

Glad you liked it...the ingenuiTea is hands down my favorite tea gadget!!!!

Your recipe will come soon...
