Surprise greetings redux
Wed Dec 03 2003

Thank you all, Friends, for going along with my surprise for my daughter. She said she saw all those strange greetings from DD, then figured out that Ma probably had something to do with it.

Her comment: Ma, I'm gonna kill you. Then a big smile and a hug.

I met her at work at the end of her shift and we had lunch. Then I took her to the store that was selling the sheepskin slippers she's been lusting after. She picked out the pair she liked, and when we were talking on the phone this evening she said her toes were toasty warm.

I was introduced to several of her friends who "hang out" at the mall where she works as a security guard. Nice, friendly bunch of lay-abouts as she calls them. They're mostly older, mostly retired people who gather at the coffee shop at the mall and socialize.

Oh, yes, and the weather was beautiful, balmy. Yesterday was chilly and rainy, big buckets of rain. Today was not a December day. It was almost spring-like. (If you haven't read Yetzirah's diary yet, do so.)

So, all together, it was a lovely day, and I'm smiling while thinking of the time spent with my daughter. She's a crusty one sometimes, and I love her dearly.

So, thanks again, for making her and my day. You're wonderful.

Shalom

    You're welcome, dear Chaya. I wonder if she's seen my e-card yet. I haven't been notified that the card has been viewed.
    I'm glad she had such a good birthday. I'm sure she and I would make great friends. We'd be swapping tattoo parlor anecdotes.
    Happy Birthday, Megan.
    Have a great day, Chaya.
    Love,
    E.L.

    I was happy to have helped you give her a memorable birthday! I got a nice thank you email back, too. I told her that I hoped we'd meet next time I come to see you.

    Love,
    ~Cali

    Oh, I missed the birthday greetings for Meghan! How fun. *smile* That was really sweet of you and everyone who sent a message.

    That was a great idea for something different.

    I also got a nice thank you back.
    It was fun, and I was happy to do it. Megan seemed very nice when I got to meet her. She obviously adores you. And you her, I could see it on your faces.
