I have a friend named Tarrah. She and I have been friends since 1980. Except for one other girl, Tarrah is my oldest friend (though she is younger than me). We used to play together on Sunday afternoons, and shared two family vacations together, one to Galveston and the other to Disneyworld. Tarrah was in my wedding and in the last few years we have gotten to spend a little time together catching up and staying in touch. Now she is "all grown up" with a great husband and 2 beautiful girls, and is expecting a little boy in a few months.
Now about the package. December 10, I think, she sent the O Fam a Christmas package. All of the favorite O Fam things were in this package. I remember when she sent it because my brother and sister-in-law sent us a package the same day. All of our Christmas boxes arrived the week of Christmas, and my brother's package...Dec. 24th. But, Tarrah's package never arrived. I waited, and waited, but nothing. Finally last month..Tarrah's package arrived....back in Texas. Not good. Apparently it had made it all the way to our country....taken a look around, and decided to go back to Texas. After much debate/discussion/friendly urging with the post office in Texas, they agreed to ship it free of charge back to us....they agreed to put it in a new box (apparently the old one had been through the ringer) but they couldn't change any of the contents of the box.
Today, March 11, when I arrived home from class.....there it was. Christmas Box from the Z Fam (Tarrah and co). I was so thrilled. Wouldn't you know everything looked great. The cheetos may all be a little smashed, but other than that....PERFECT!! The best part is (for me)....this morning, I ran out of coffee creamer....but this afternoon more arrived, via Tarrah. Perfect Timing!!!
THANK YOU TARRAH, JIMMY, ANNA, & SERENE!!!!
