Surprise! Surprise!

The kindness of fellow bloggers
never ceases to amaze me.
Imagine our surprise
the other day when
a package arrived for
Becky and I read the return
address and it was from
a dear blogging friend.

It touched me that she even thought
of Becky
and then to see that she 
handmade something
for her almost had me in tears.


Here is Becky modeling
her beautiful new
scarf to keep her warm in 
our Minnesota winters:

My Mom was a knitter
so I really appreciate the time 
and talents that went into this
lovely scarf.

This talented 
and sweet blogger
has a very famous kitty
named Madi.
She was kind enough to put
her scent on the scarf
for Cupid.

Here he is, Madi...
I promised you a picture
(or 2) of him:


He thinks your smell delicious!

So, in the end,
Becky and I send
our love and thanks
to Madi and her Mom.
You two are the best!

Please take time to visit their wonderful
blog.
I am sure you will be delighted!

How thoughtful! Such a pretty scarf. My Grandmother used to make me washrags and scrunchies. When she passed, I didn't know what to do. Then my friend's mother made some for me and sent them my way. Shortly after, she passed away. Today I have all of the homemade reminders and it makes me smile. I love it when people think of you so much that they sit down knit for you. It seems like an art that is disappearing in this day and age.

Hi Becky, Jill and my man cat Cupid...Mom and I are so very thrilled that you like your scarf.
Becky you wear it with such style too and the color is PURRFECT with your beautiful blonde fur!! Mom and I are so proud of you too!! So many adventures await you...

Thank you for this most wonderful post. I'm so glad Cupid was able to read my Southern smell mail. MOL Your blog pleases our senses every day.

Hugs and snuggles from
Madi and Mom
