This is what it contained:

I let out such a squeal of delight when I saw it that Sunny was ready to dispatch the offending tome forthwith. She jumped to the conclusion that the book was attacking me. I had a bit of a time convincing her that is was a GOOD squeal . . .

Thank you Mamallama! You are a gem. Even if you ARE a bean spiller.
I will drool all over it, and we shall attempt some of its treasures at our creekside spot as soon as weather and proximity permits!

And to complete the happy news all around, here are your socks all ready to wear. You have good taste in color, that's all I can say about them....well, besides the fact that I learned a new little trick to finishing off the toes that makes them practically perfect in every way. Every time I make a pair, I learn something new. Pretty soon, I'll be a genius!
