Revealing the Gifts from Down Under

Yesterday I wrote about my friend in Australia that sends me special packages every year, for 15 years now, for my birthday and Christmas. We bonded through a support group for parents who lost their child to suicide. We have never met in person but I keep hoping one day. The photo above shows what the gifts were for this year. She knows I love Eeyore. This reindeer Eeyore is one I did not have. And she said she couldn't pass up the Winnie the Pooh ornament she found. I have a big collection of Eeyore over the years. The cats is an apron she got in Japan. It is very nice and I will get a lot of use out of it. It has pockets and very nice thick material.

Those look like very thoughtful gifts. I love them. Lucky you! Love that apron, and I've always been a fan of Eeyore. I so identify.

I was thinking that Eeyore looked like a reindeer, glad I wasn't seeing things!
