Sometimes we have to wait a little bit for packages to arrive. Patience - not our strongest suit, but well worth it. Saturday we received a big box from the mailman. It was addressed to me so Phil brought it upstairs to my sewing room where I was working. I opened it and saw that it had a few items in it from Kevin and Kerry. A book called "Radical Brewing" (not pictured), a package that had been opened and six bottles of beer.
Kevin had sent his Dad a sampling of the beer that they brew together in August. We had gone to Chicago for two days after Nick and Julie's wedding to spend a little time with Kevin, Kerry and the pooches. Those two days were the hottest - 95 degrees, air conditioner quit and then the transformer blew in the back yard. But they brewed outside and had a great time. Phil said this is good stuff and he will savor every last drop.
I had asked for a wool project from Bird Brain Designs called a "Think Pink Sachet/Pin Cushion", a pattern coordinated with Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It had the pattern in it as well as all the wool needed to do the project. Well, the package looked a little battered when I opened the box.
Well, there is a story behind this (always is). Kerry had wrapped the package and put it under the tree. Bill McGill - little doggie - decided to investigate the package - probably thinking it was for him. So he tore into it and helped Kerry rewrap it. They sent it to me as is so that I would know that Bill had a hand in helping Kerry with the wrapping of presents this year. Fortunately the wool is fine, the pattern a little gnawwed at but still readable so all is well. Gotta love him.
Thanks for the great stuff. I am looking forward to my project and I know that Phil is going to savor every bit of the beer. Now, if he opens the book - well that is another story. Have a great day.

Nice that Kevin sent the beer. Is Phil thinking of making some? Seems like a good hobby.
