That dress totally rocks. It is what a wedding dress should be – a statement of who the bride is. And the sheep in the article is even better!

Alison, it’s such a great pleasure, every day, to read your posts as you get better. I’m glad our little package of treasures has made it safely to you, and gladder yet that it’s arrived to find you healing so well!

So glad you got it all in one piece 🙂 I’m sure it won’t stay that way for long – so many goodies to enjoy, especially the handmade ones. Also good to hear you are feeling so well! Patience on the lifting, but you’ll get there!!

Saw the dress a few months back – had to be very warm, but lovely!

Oh, you are soooo punny! You’re gonna give ole Don a run for his money.

Noticed she wasn’t too sentimental about her sheep…lamb was served at the reception.

We may give up on a project, but, hey, we NEVER eat it!

Giggles galore. :)Ewe-r killin’ me.

Very thoughtful of your friends to gift you with all those goodies…and chocolate….wow!

I saw the picture of the bride in this dress. Quite unique and memorable.

That’s an amazing dress!

Thanks for posting the Beethoven info. I’m going to keep an eye out for it!

I should go back and try to count the puns in there. I bet that is one HEAVY dress!

I love how your mind works! Lovely post.

I’m glad this package gave you a hint to let us know about your recovery. All these outings should have told us you are doing well, but it’s good to know you are still trying to be a good patient. 🙂

Note to Channon: I counted six puns, but of course I could have missed a few.

Note to Ruth: Alison is MUCH better than I at punning.

Note to Alison: It is SO good to hear that you are doing so much better! Does that mean I can stop putting jokes on your blog? I’m starting to run out of material.

Oh, well, here is something funny:

Seen in Newspapers:

Vacation Special: have your home exterminated.

Mt. Kilimanjaro, the breathtaking backdrop for the Serena Lodge. Swim in the lovely pool while you drink it all in. The hotel has bowling alleys, tennis courts, comfortable beds, and other athletic facilities.

Get rid of aunts. Zap does the job in 24 hours.

Toaster: a gift that every member of the family appreciates. Automatically burns toast.

For Rent: 6-room hated apartment. Man, honest. Will take anything.

Used cars: why go elsewhere to be cheated. Come here first.

Christmas tag-sale. Handmade gifts for the hard-to-find person.

Wanted: hair cutter. Excellent growth potential.

Wanted: man to take care of cow that does not smoke or drink.

What a lovely surprise!
I adore getting stuff in the mail. I even got excited by my free “Kaboom” toilet cleaner sample last week.
