Wordless Wednesday: Special Delivery (and Post-Script to Yesterday's Post)

Don't you love the little goodies brought by friends and neighbors at Christmas?

We delivered my homemade jam from last summer (post here) and our yummy/ugly sugar cookies.
We broke records yesterday here in AZ: 82 degrees. Yes, Lily's in shorts.
Hope the jolly old elf gets their message!

Christmas is a time of fulfilled wishes. Remember this post? Look what my visiting teachers brought me today:
It's perfect, isn't it? Now I just need one that says, "Holiday Cheer Closet" and one that says "Hobbit Closet." Someday I'll show you these messes!

If you missed my admitted idiocy yesterday:  I deleted my blog roll, AGAIN.  I am slowly working on piecing it back together.  If your blog doesn't appear in the next few days, make sure you leave a comment.

And a post-script to yesterday's post:
Thanks for the advice and the commiseration.
Just FYI: This is not a regular classroom teacher--it's a specials teacher, so the effect on my darling will hopefully be minimal. And . . .

Grandma Honey: I took your advice and took an apology note and a plateful of cookies (not my scrumptious chocolate chip cookies but oatmeal raisin dough from a wrestling fundraiser)  to the school today. Now, maybe my house won't be bombed.

  1. Hi Jen, Thank you so much for stopping by and linking up! I can't believe that you still have 82 degree weather and are still wearing shorts. I live in FL and we had a high of 38 today...which is completely unheard of around here. Normally we are like you...in the 80s. Anyway, I'm loving the first picture of your daughter delivering the goodies. Such a beautiful shot! I'm following you back! Cheers!

  3. Seriously, what is up with this weather? 82 degrees? My daughter has been in t shirts and shorts most of this week.
    I received my first plate of goodies today. Ill have to follow back to your link post and find a good recipe for us to use to deliver our own plates of goodies. I love this time of year. So much giving.

  4. Yeah, I remember that AZ weather. My kids still think we live there. Hope you get all your roll back. That's so frustrating.

  6. Wow, I wish I had you as my neighbor! Mine likes to run away from us the minute they spot us in the hallway (There are 2 apartments per floor in my building).

  7. 82 DEGREES? Sheesh, that's warm.

    Hopefully you got a cold front like we did last night. It's not Christmas without the need to wear jeans and a long-sleeved shirt.

  11. You're a good soul, Jen. I'm sure the teacher appreciated it and will think twice next time. You catch more flies with honey,,, etc etc.

  13. I am catching up on blogs and just noticed that you said you deleted your blog roll again - so I am commenting:-)

    I am just wondering what button you are pushing girl, that let's you keep deleting it?
    Just don't delete your blog - ha ha - if you can believe it I accidentally did that a few years ago and it was painful!

    Hope you have a Wonderful Christmas!!!!

  14. It's like Christmas in the southern hemisphere. I always think it's odd to see people in New Zealand on the beach at Christmas.
