Well....

I went away on the 19th Dec, and when I returned there was a card saying that a parcel had arrived on the 20th that needed a signature. I was lucky that the local Post Office had used common sense and not sent it back after 5 days - most sane Aussies KNOW that school hols etc mean that many people are away at that time, and waited till near end Jan before sending it back! So today I retrieved it!

Of course, it HAD been opened by Customs, but nothing removed (so they say!). Even a booklet and note explaining that it had been opened and what is/is not allowed to be sent!

I'm pretty sure they opened that clear little plastic bag, cause the ribbon had not been tied up again! But once they detected that it was only a plastic dog turd.... probably the same with the 'lobster'...
:-) Wait on, the contents list says "one bar soap".... hmmm, no soap, unless..... hmmm, doesn't mention dog turd anywhere...

Thanks for the cute 'Dump Truck', maybe those Customs guys forgot to tell me that they took away the Gold Bullion...

That's a different Maple Syrup - I think i will share it with friends at my Birthday - which is not far away - I will ask them to cook me pancakes! Probably a good use for that Wild Maine Blueberry Jam too! BTW, my goddaughter loves blueberries, and jam, she loves it when I make her up those 'shaker-pack' blueberry pancakes!

That's a wonderful jester too! That will go on the wall!

Thanks too for the coin and the images of Maine in various forms.

I WILL read the newspapers too - love to see them from other places when used as wrappings - ephemera are just that!

Very nice, thank you!

Unfortunately, you have me totally beat on guessing who you are!

"My name is my profession!"

Oooooo, er, aaaahhhh! Too Much Information...
