Denise - I'm so glad the package arrived in time. I did make the card, thought the outdoor theme would be good with the hunting items :) Let me know how he likes the book so I can think about checking it out at the library.

Hi Heather,
I am so glad your Farm Boy enjoyed his box, it was my pleasure. I did not know his size so I figured big and then you can shrink it in the dryer.
I came home today and your box is sitting on the counter, so I go and ask my Farm Boy why he did not open the box that was clearly addressed to him, and he goes "It's from some woman in Ohio I don't know, and I'm sure it's not family," LOL.
I got a good laugh, anyway he enjoyed everything and got a kick out of your card and Buckeye country. He wants me to make sure I tell you Thank You, he really enjoyed it, esp. the chocolate. Hugs Karla

Thank you Lisa, for the great gifts you sent my grumpy old bear! He, wasn't sure the package was for him, but is looking forward to snacking on his treats during the afternoon.

Oh my goodness! My farm boy absolutely loved his box...after his initial suspicion. I didn’t tell him about this swap, so when I came back from the P.O.Box, he asked me what I got. I said it’s for you. He did everything but take it outside and poke it with a stick! Finally, I said why don’t you open it? He sets it on the ground and stares at it. Then he says it’s from Texas, I don’t know these people, and how did they get our new P.O. Box? I finally had to break down and tell him through fits of giggles about the swap. Then his eyes lit up and he tore right into it! He pronounced everything wonderful. He especially liked the handmade peach wood pen. So a big THANK YOU to Sherry and Mark! <3 P.S. Thank you for the lovely Zinnia!

Dearest Cristy! Danny opened his box this morning and we both giggled at the unique way you wrapped everything! He said he wouldn't have to buy shop towels anymore! He said thank you for the cigar, cutter and rifke lighter from your vaca area, he will enjoy those very much!Thanks from him also for the magazine,snacks,soap,flashlight, koozy and everything! Such a wonderful box! You are amazing. Hope you are both enjoying your vacation and a Happy Fathers day to Michael. Stay safe!

Dianna, Mike is thrilled with his box of goodies! Magazine, book, koozie, coaster, nuts, jerky, and mini blow gun couldn't have been better chosen! And shop rags! ( We farmgirls think alike) Enjoy your time with Danny at home. Our time at the lake has been wonderful.
Enjoying the day,
Cristy |

Denise - Todd says "THANK YOUUUUU" He loved his box and thought we were crazy for doing it, in a good way. He opened that package when he got home Friday evening and then we jumped in the car to go to the lake for the weekend. He has eaten half of the beef jerky and gummy bears/ The fishing items went with us and on the boat Saturday. Was a very nice surprise for him.

This was a great idea Winnie. I think we should do it every year for our farmboys. It sure is funny how many were afraid to open their boxes :)

I am so excited to share My Farmboy's reaction today when he got home from the gym! I was getting laundry out of the dryer when he walked down with a box that said "Farmboy Mail". He was puzzled at why his name was on it, so I said, go ahead and open it up because it is addressed to you. So he did, and was instantly digging through all of the the goodies that he got from JT, Denise's hubby! Check this out!!
All his favorites!!! Microwave popcorn, summer sausage, Orbit peppermint gum, Reeses pieces (anything Reeses he loves), a Starbuck's card ( he adores Starbucks!), and this really cool wallet tool. He was so happy and surprised!! Then he said, and how did this happen? You mean MJF swap? Who is Denise and JT? LOL!!! Thank-you Denise and JT for making this surprise special today for my Farmboy!!
I agree with everyones comments so far that we should do this again next year. It was fun and it sounds like our Farmboys would vote YES for a repeat in 2019!! LOL!!

Most of them were new to him Marsha, but so far he has liked it all. The teas are really cool too. Neither of us had ever seen the loose leaf bags like that before. Thank you! Can't wait for Rafael to get his goodies!!

Hannah, so glad Ryan liked all his goidies. This was a very fun swap and so many ideas seeing all the other farm boy goodies that everyone sent.
Mark want to thank you Hannah for all his great goodies. Our girls took us out to dinner on Saturday and we received the package on Saturday but I would not let him open it till we got back from supper so everyone could see what he got. So all my guys got to enjoy it, thank you so much. .jpg?v 25900003)
Farmgirl Hugs & May all your Wishes come true.

Thank you, Jill, for an amazing package! Tyson went to the mail today, and he came home but didn’t open it....so funny! He said he wasn’t sure it was for him, and I said, it says your name on it! But he said he still wasn’t sure and thought he should wait for me...lol! He loves everything, you did an amazing job!!

Will someone please tell me how to upload a picture here. Rod opened his box, which came wrapped in a ND map! Julie’s husband, Keith, sent him wonderful things and I want to post a photo and can’t remember how. Thank you. Joey
