When I got home from work tonight, I found this envelope in the mail, taunting me. Because–unusually–Mom and Dad took advantage of their Movie tickets and went out with friends this afternoon.

But . . . An envelope from the Martha’s Vineyard Chamber of Commerce? Addressed to my Mom? I mean, literally, to Deb’s Mom. What could it be?

Well, it turns out that Susan is sneaky. And really nice. Not only does she raise adorable sheep and goats, write entertaining blog posts and e-mails with fun pictures . . . not to mention being the brain behind the first fiber CSA ever . . . but she’s generous, too.

She saw my post a couple weeks ago when I showed my CSA share certificate and mentioned Mom being jealous about my having gotten an envelope from the Vineyard, and decided that Mom should have her own package.

Isn’t that fabulous? Two Peter Simon calendars. Two “Best of the Vineyard Sound” cd’s. Two “Follow me to Martha’s Vineyard” bumper stickers. One for each of us.

I’m telling you, if that fiber is HALF as nice as the person running this CSA, it’s going to be beyond delectable. And I certainly hope her dogs like Boykin Spaniels because the three of us REALLY want to visit the farm when we go up to the Island in May.

Thank you so much, Susan! You really made our day.
