My sister asked me why I was getting so many cards in the mail! LOL! It's so much fun to come home to all these lovely envelopes with a surprise inside!
Many thanks to:

OK, I've finally got the rest of mine in the mail! Whew. Thanks to all for being so patient. Has anybody recieved tea from me yet? Just curious.
Thank you again for all you that sent so far. Got one from Mima yesterday. Funny how e-mail and cell phones have helped eliminate letters and cards in the mail. They're such treasures and I'd almost forgotten!

I got yours Linda. I had never tried roobios before. It kinda reminded me of sticks before I put sweetened condensed milk in. Then it tasted sort of like Thai iced tea. It is oddly appealing. I love trying new things. It reminded me of herba mate/chinese diet tea, is that the way you spell it?
The rest of mine will be in the mail tomorrow. I really hurt myself on the ice last Friday, then the baby got sick, so I finished them up today since we are feeling better.
Bridget..I think fun pouchy thing would be a good description of me since I had the baby. Your description just made me laugh.

Hey Patricia,
I hope you're on the mend and up and about at a 100% soon!

Linda,
I received yours. I'm going to try them tomorrow. Thanks! I have been getting envelopes every day. Thank you, all!
Oh - and mine went out in yesterdays mail. Sorry it took so long - things have been hectic.

Yep, 3:30 hit & I got up from my sewing machine, brewed myself a demi pot of tea, 2 chocolate Lebkuchen(German spice cookies)then sat and enjoyed my March issue of Domino magazine. This month they are focusing on furniture & clothing that is "green" (earth friendly).
I love my late afternoon tea breaks. Good for the soul.
So I am enjoying all the wonderful teas from all you wonderful ladies. hugz.

Thank you all so much ladies! I've received about 6 so far, and I am enjoying them greatly!!
Linda, I have received yours, which made me check my list and I didn't check your name off...but I'm pretty sure I remember addressing you in CA. Then again, you know how that goes...so if you didn't get a letter from me PLEASE let me know!!

Well, it's after 3:30am here and I haven't been able to sleep a wink tonight. I've been all over this forum and a whole bunch of other sites that you gals have posted links for and my butt is getting tired of sitting in this hard chair. I still don't feel tired enough to go back to bed but, I really need to try to get some sleep. I'm going to try one of those lovely "calming" teas and see if that works. The warm milk didn't. But I'm going to play around on here some more while I drink it;)
