Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa -- Part Eight
Lucky I didn't take that photo. Because, wait, there's more!

I went to town again but nearly forgot to check my PO box. I thought it wouldn't matter if I waited until Monday, but something made me walk all the way back there again.

And, to my complete surprise there was another Secret Santa parcel. I opened it when I got to the car. Couldn't wait this time, no way!

Inside was a beautiful card from Barbara, now identified as "Burke". And a package of maple sugar. AND a Sacred Harp CD with Barbara singing on at least one of the tracks. Wonderful! I've wondered about Sacred Harp ever since hearing about it years ago when I first got on the Internet and joined the harp e-mail list.

But wait, there is even still more. A Sacred Harp book of words and music. I've just had a quick taste of listening to the CD and reading the words and music to each song.

This is heaven on a stick.

I was crying when I got the package, and then when I read the card which said part of the present was a Sacred Harp CD, I ws crying more, and *then* when I opened the wrappings on the book - well, what can I say.

Multiply my previous thanks to an infinite number, and then add some.

[And now I feel terrible for blaspheming in my previous post - after listening to that sacred music.]
