Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

Earlier today Marcel brought in the mail. He handed me a card and said that someone left it in the mailbox for me. My name was scrawled across the center of the envelope, but nothing else. From the lack of postage- I knew it had to be from someone local. When I opened it, I saw a beautiful card with a picture of the lavender fields in France on the front. I figured it was from one of my neighbors, but instead it was from one of my dear friends, Hein (Desere’s husband). He went to France last year and I told him how much I’d love to see the lavender fields there. He said he’d take pictures. I forgot about it, but apparently he didn’t. The card said that since he’d forgotten to take a picture of the fields, he was giving me the card instead.

I can’t begin to describe the joy that I felt from that card. I love surprises and it’s the ones that completely catch you off guard that are the best. This one definitely ranks high on my list of ‘catch me completely off guard’ surprises. That little card made my day- and also showed me once again just how truely blessed I am to have such wonderful people in my life.
