That was a fast delivery.

That just leaves us with 3 more to be reported on.
One of our exchangers is on vacation, and will be back in a few days, so hopefully we will hear of her box arriving, of hers being sent out, and the one coming to me from a different DISer. .

That was a fast delivery.

Yes it was. It traveled about 1000 miles in only two days. This must be a new record for the post office!!!!

Yup, with how the postal system is these days with some packages it really makes you wonder what is going on. Especially when the rates keep increasing.

Mine went out today

I got a package today from Janice (jpmandan)

She sent me

Mayhaw jelly. Never heard of it but can't wait to try it.
Pecan log
Peanut brittle (I think. Haven't tried it yet)
A beautiful ornament called Angel of the Bay. It is made with a shell.
Brochures, pamplets, paper and a video PC CD of her area. The CD is part of a fund raiser for her area which was devistated by Katrina.

Thank you so much. Everything is wonderful. I hope that Katrina did not cause you any loss.

I'm glad it got there so fast! Mayhaw jelly is a commom homemade jelly here in the South. Mayhaws are little like grapes. The peanut brittle is really pecan pralines. The Angel of the Bay is made by a lady here, and the box was made by her husband with driftwood and cardboard.

My house lost alot of shingles and we had some downed trees. The "usual" hurricane damage. My community was deeply affected (as you could see from the CD). My sons lost their school and are going to school in portable classrooms now. Many of my students moved or were left homeless. We are definitely recovering though! Thank you for asking!

I'm glad you like everything. Maybe, if we do one of these exchanges next year, I'll be able to add more to the box.

Mickeyfan2,

Please, oh please, don't take it as a solicitation for a donation. All the other locally made books and DVDs were much too expensive to include in your box. I just wanted to share the slide show portion since most people are curious about our situation.

Hi everyone,
I screwed up and didn't get mine or my mom's out today. We got home from Chicago at 12:30 this morning and had to go to my DS baseball game and I didn't make it to the Post Office in time. Very very sorry and I promise it will go out Monday. I did receive my package today. I got some wonderful things from Jpmandan.

I got:
some candy yum yum
mayhaw jelly (cant wait to try never heard of it before)
Oceans Spring CD
Southern Breeze cooking magazine
Going Coastal magazine
Really neat shell angel
lots of literature on the area.

Thanks so much. I have never been to Mississippi.

Don't worry. I did not take it that way. I just was trying to describe it for the others and I figured that you made a donation to get it, so I was just giving you credit for it.
