Dear Santa,

I have found you out!! It took awhile; you were quite clever. I am sorry, I can never wait to open pressies once they've arrived, esp. from a Secret Santa! )Checking by the name on the return addy, all I could find was a piper by that name who'd passed away, so...I was wondering what might have come from the Other Side, but THEN, I read "Motherclay" and that gave you away!

I LOVE my Motherclay Santa!! And, the wild rice, honey and book are wonderful and so thoughtful. How wonderful that the rice was harvested from your friend's place and now, I can taste the local honey from your region! I love honey and rice, both, and anything by Keillor!!! AND, Rena's CD, autographed and all! I've only had a chance to listen to a couple of cuts, but I really like what I hear!!

Thank yew, thank yew, thank yew! I'll post a picture of my VERY OWN, Hand-sculptured, signed and numbered, Double Image Santa from your very own clay pit in a day or two. (The house is in a state of choas at the moment, making room for daughter and our new grandson, so things are not where they should be, such as the digital camera, etc!)**bg**

At one point I'd told CatsPHIDDLE that I was going to withdraw from the Secret Santa thing this year as it just seemed I was going to be too swamped with helping our daughter and grandson, etc. BOY, am I glad I changed my mind!!

Thanks, Santa and thanks to Khatt, too!!
