A Christmas Surprise
December 23, 2008
I get so tired up in the rush of Christmas. Sometimes something wonderful happens and I catch my breath and come back to the moment. This happened today. I am in the middle of preparations for my Christmas Eve dinner. Thirty guests are invited, so much to do! I collected the mail and found cards from people I had dropped off my list, another job, and there was a big parcel, definitely a book. Now, I had ordered Annette Gero's new book months ago so assumed this was it. I would open it after Christmas and have a good read.
I put the parcel aside, and I don't know what made me turn it over,
but there on the back was the address of the sender. My friend Angela.
Foolishly I thought she must have had to distribute Annette's book. When I opened the parcel it was a copy of "Australia's Quilts" by Jenny Manning. This has been unavailable for some time. Angela rescued it in a sale and saved it as a Christmas gift for me.
