Gifts From Afar
Wow, it has been a long long time since I was here to update. I have been in Savannah working and staying in a motel. Missy is gone to her dads for the summer, and may go to live with her biological family some afterwards. She is at last ready to go do that. I have always kept the door open to her to call them or see them, but she never wanted to, but now that she is older, she is ready.

So, I have been in Savannah a lot like I was saying. I don't have an apartment yet, but I am looking. It is harder than I thought it would be to find just the right place. So, I can't get on-line much these days. maybe soon.

So, I saw Jefferson last week, and he brought me the gifts he picked up for me while over seas. He surprized me with one...

We went back to the motel where I was staying after having supper together. He won a stuffed animal from one of those machines with the claws at the resturant..a cute dinosaur and he won a hulk, but he kept that one. So, we get to the room, and he makes sure the lighting is just right, tells me to sit down in a chair at the desk, he was on the couch next to it. He was grinning and loving every minute of it..I was excited..

So, he brings out the first gift. It was from France, the first place he went. It is still in the original bag and everything. That was cool as shit, seeing how they package things and all. Well, what does every woman want from France? Perfume, and he didn't disappoint me. It was a beautiful bottle inside a gorgeous box covered in crushed velvet. Oh my, it smells wonderful!! I was beside myself with glee, and was so pleased.

Ok, then, he went to Crete, so he gave me the gift from there next. People, I have no idea what it is...Hahaha, no, for real. I mean I know it is a Centaur, actually it looks like the emblem for Saggitarius. It is made of metal and has a very unique paint job on it..don't get me wrong, I love love love it, I just don't know what it is. I can't tell if it is a paper weight, kinda big for that, or a plaque, can't see a place to hang it on the wall. It could be a plant ornament, or a trivet..it won't stand on its own...really I just have no idea.
I am going to make a windchime with it, and let that be the top part. Now, I just have to figure out what to hang from it. I really dont want to do metal, rather maybe find out what is common to Crete. I just don't know. I do know that I want it where I can see it a lot.

Next, he went to Slovenia, but he didn't get me a prize from there, that stingy ol meanie..he bought himself a new guitar though. Which he played and for me and sang. He even sang me a lullaby to help me go to sleep. He is a complete sweetie pie!!!

Last but not least he went to England. He asked me in an e-mail what I wanted from there. I finally told him a decorative teapot. Well, let me tell you what that sweetie did. He got me a really big teapot and 2 huge teacups and huge saucers, and 3 boxes of tea!!! I was so surprised!! It is beautiful too.

He sat grinning the whole time and was really loving all of my ooohhh's and aaahhh's, and he loved giving me the gifts, which by the way was the best gift of all.

	Good luck with the apartment-hunting in Savannah. Something will turn up. That's so nice, all the gifts he brought from around the world. How exotic! Terry (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thanks for your comments. yes Jefferson is a sweet guy...he was very thoughtful to bring me gifts. Terry, I didn't know finding an apartment was so hard..good grief though!!! It is brain wracking at times. I am trying to get right out on the Island, it is costly, but I think it will be worth it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's like finding an apartment here in Montreal -- impossible and/or too expensive. The movers charge an arm and a leg, and so do the landlords. So I'm staying put here for another year and will hope to find something cheaper next year. Anyway, I send good luck vibes down to ya! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You mean you didn't get any "trinkets" from Saddam's Palace?! What the hell?! The guitar thing was cool. I'm still a novice but I'm having fun learning. Good luck with the apartment hunting! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
