Kevin's Watch

So...

Beorn and I are here at home and the doorbell rings. It's a mailman with a parcel. Not expecting anything, I greet him and prepare to tell him it must have been mislabled.

Looking at the lable I see it is addressed to me.
From the UK.
Say what?
I don't recognize the name on the return address, especially since the first name given is only an initial, except possibly as a famous American comedian. And the return address makes no sense to me. I can't even tell what city in the UK the parcel came from.

I accept the parcel, come inside, and slowly open it, taking care to reserve the mailing lable in case I need it to return what ever it is.

The carton is filled with bubble wrap. On top is a handwritten note, in much better penmenship than I'll ever have. It says...

Hey Menolly!

I hope you like Eastern dragons as much as you like Western ones! The one with the orb is called 'Gin' & the one without, 'Ger.'

Hope you like them.

Stonemaybe.

OMGs...

*tears*

Inside are two beautiful dragon figurines. They shall take a place of honor among the few collectibles I have.

Stoney...

Thank you.
I don't know why you chose to send these to me, but they are beautiful.

Now...how did you get my address? That's one bit of information we have not exchanged.

Waaayyy cool!! *bows to stonemaybe's generousity*

Well, take pics and post 'em!!

If only I had a camera.
Or a scanner if I get a disposable camera.

The dragons were lonely, they'd been banished from my mantel by pics of nephews and nieces.

They needed a good home, and who better than a former goddess of dragons?

As for the address, well, you're not the only board member at that address, are you? I just asked one of the others....

Thank you again, Stoney. They truly are beautiful.

...you wouldn't happen to have photos of them, would you?

*smacking forehead*

...I really am dense...

Did I tell you before I had gotten this? Cause if not, I finally did.

...and here I've been trying to put Korean meaning to the names...

Random unexpected prezzies are always the best!

Yes'm!!!



It's been a couple of months since Ger and Gin showed up at my door, and I still get a huge smile and warm fuzzy feeling everytime I see them.

Again, my thanks, Stone.
