Parcel


























We had a guest over Easter whose parents are Buddhist, but she rather enjoys a traditional Easter dinner of turkey and mashed potatoes (and our company), so she was invited to join our feast. She's such a sweet girl....the college room mate of Boy Child and my DIL, and gets on famously with Girl Child and any other guest we may have in the house. Delightful girl that she is, Poppy brought me a dear little parcel stuffed with little soaps that are really just too pretty to open. A double celebration since Poppy has just graduated (again) and landed a job working in her chosen field with autistic kids.

    Special it is to receive special little things . . . no doubt you received because you are a giver . . .

    When my son was living in Japan, he would sometimes send a little package. I kept whatever he sent, of course ! but I also kept the paper :)
    I love the Japanese way of everything being pretty, pleasing to the eye, no matter what it's job is .
