Reinholt1 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Mom just opened another package.....I managed a quick shot as she ripped off the paper. Potato chips! Mom is very happy! Another favorite that I totally expect to be eaten in it's entirety today! Thank you secret santa! Edited December 6, 2020 by Reinholt1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinholt1 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Mom got into the rest of her presents. Wow (not so secret) Secret Santa! You really out did yourself! Mom is very happy! She loves the shirt, immediately feeling the fabric and pronouncing it "very soft!...this is going to be really comfortable!". She is thrilled with the snack cakes, but her favorite at the moment are the mounds & almond joys candy bars. She is eating her 4th one as I type this. (See picture below) Mom also received a couple of pieces of Russell Stover's dark chocolate candies and a blistix lip balm. (And we mustn't forget a can of potato chips, a box of coffee cakes, a kitten calendar and a tree! (We both really like that a tree was planted somewhere where it is so needed.) Mom also hung your pretty ribbons on her tree for added decoration. Thank you again! Mom keeps saying how thoughtful you are!

wittenlover Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Fun seeing all the pictures of the packages that have arrived. Helps me as I continue to stalk my mailbox daily waiting for mine to appear so I can set it aside for Christmas morning.

jesusluvu Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I received my SS gift this weekend. Have not opened it but I can not wait too. Thank you so very much SS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bopeep Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Well, I have 2 Santas that haven't checked in about shipping. I'm kind of worried about them personally. For SS purposes, I'm just not sure when to ask for help. If they shipped and just didn't tell me, there's no need for elves, but if they haven't shipped, I don't want to wait too late. Decisions, ugh. Mainly, I really am worried about our girls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinholt1 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Sorry Stevierocks, I am having trouble seeing your pics. And the id # are all the same, so I don't think they took. The throw sounds comfy cozy though. If it makes you feel any better, mom finished polishing off all those mounds and almond joys about 5 mins ago. Don't let her see those 5 bags of candy of yours! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know this year has thrown curveballs at everyone at various times. Elves are on standby if needed. [emoji170] 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decisions, ugh.I agree with Wittenlover, reach out and let's give them a little more time. I am assuming they are folks who have been with us a few years. Hopefully they are just delayed or busy. Our local news tonight was reporting how backed up they are, between the deluge of packages AND postal workers out due to the virus. They reported that even when a postal rig arrives, it is a 20 hour wait, in a line of rigs, to unload the rig! I've been tracking a package that went out last Monday. It was supposed to be delivered last Friday. Then USPS said Saturday. Now the USPS tracker simply says that the package will arrive late and that it is in transit.

I also hope that the packages all get to everyone safely so you don’t go through what we went through last year..... I don’t think anyone here realizes mine got ATE/Lost/Stalled/.... you fill in the blank. Anyways it never showed up and poor Bopeep had her hands full with the post office and insurance. She came through amazingly! By the way mine came already this year thank you secret Santa. I am waiting to unwrap. Well I did open the starbursts already 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bopeep Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 I have messaged both of them, and emailed one (the other didn't give an email address) but haven't heard back from them. Yes, both are long time members and I definitely don't think they flaked. They legit may just be running late, or forgot to send the tracking info. I just know all the shipping companies are having serious delays, so I don't want to wait too long. If I don't hear anything from them by Friday, I will call in the elves. Thank you all for your support! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kash Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Actually the bag was from something else and happened to be there. But good eye my fellow Michiganders! Funny what makes us think of each other. Every time I ride my motorcycle by MIS I think of Wittenlover. Never met you in person. But I feel like I know you.

Reinholt1 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Every time I ride my motorcycle by MIS I think of Wittenlover.LOL. Every time I am near MIS I think of all those wonderful summers at church camp. The Irish Hills are a pretty area. Looks like there are at least 4 of us in the same region. We should meet up after the virus...maybe over a chicken dinner in Frankenmuth..... Edited December 9, 2020 by Reinholt1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
