Mail day!

OK, in the US, almost every day is mail day, but in Samoa (where I was a Peace Corps Volunteer) it was very exciting to go down to the office on the day after the weekly flight from the US had arrived. My mom sent me letters and packages every single week, and it was a good idea to be in the lounge when I picked up my mail because I always shared the fancy chocolates and paperback books she sent.

Today we got TWO packages, unexpectedly: one from my mom, and one from Oliver's. My mom sent a copy of Nancy Drew, Girl Sleuth and Jean sent a Wizard Magic Cookie Kit!

I'll let you all know how the book is, but it remains to be seen whether we'll share our magic blue hat-shaped cookies with anyone.
