Aye, there be treasure here



It seemed like a simple sharing of fun after Summer posted for the 100th time on her blog, to comment about something I’d like in a box of treasures.

I sure didn’t expect to win.

Even less did I anticipate the care and effort Summer would expend, with the help of her husband and daughter.

This week a UPS truck stopped out front. I’ve been pet-sitting Laddy, a 15-year-old Pomeranian with a crooked spine and endearing wee face. He shared the couch with me as I grabbed a moment for reading. The doorbell rang.

Laddy and I opened the box. He was excited. Really.














We found a smaller box, with a cool, foreign stamp on the lid. It said the treasures inside were from Edmonds Beach.

Next appeared a notepad. No, a painting pad. Oh, my, I'll need to work on unearthing some artistic flair. Or I'll just have fun experimenting. And how did she know I love butterflies?

Framed art! Treasure, indeed.


Next, music. Summer's art enhanced. It's been a while since I had new tunes.



















And then, so amazing, a book. Poetry. Summer reading made complete by Summer's thoughtfulness.

Thanks so much!
