The Eagle has landed! & left a huge box of goodies from Santa Hollowfox. The eagle didn't drop any feathers but left his image all over the parcel sent by the US Post office.

I've listened to the "official" pressie - a local CD of 'Songs of Western Pennsylvania' by the Newlanders & will eventually get round to the Mudcatter CDs (Jean Ritchie & John Roberts) & the piece of history (Kent State May 4 project)

I've also read all the local paper wrappings & just loved the comics from the Tribune Chronicle. Some of my favourite strips there & it's good to see that we're not behind in the Prince Valiant, Garfield, For Better or Worse, Wizard of Id, Zits, Hagar the Horrible & Blondie strips. It's years since I've seen Doonesbury (website found & bookmarked), Dennis the Menace & Andy Capp & I just love the new ones. I'll be very carefully preserving the comics with the rest of my comic strip & cartoon collection. I'll probably use my new iron to carefully iron it so it can go into my archival scrapbook!

I'll start one of the embroideries & pour over the maps over the next few days. The Niagara Falls souvenir has already found a place in my cabinet.

THANKYOU Santa Hollowfox.
