Samwise has arrived but I had to leave The Shire before he got there. Luckily, Barb was there to take delivery. I’m out helping my son Tyler pick out his first pair of glasses so no unboxing until tonight at the earliest. :(

I have enjoyed watching/waiting with you Kevin! I am looking forward to hearing how Samwise fits into your family of “necessities”.

I am lucky. I have had the same UPS driver for the last 5-10 years…. and he coached my son’s baseball team 8 years ago…. so if I have a package coming, I call him on his cellphone to be on the lookout… and when it hits town…I call again…. and usually get the package pretty quick!

Fed Ex, a different story..but I am working on him (christmas gift, cold soda on hot day, etc)….

for now, I always cross fingers and hope delivery is by UPS :)
