WOYWW 219: the one where she asks forgiveness

I'm beginning today with a request that you forgive me for not visiting many of you last week.  Some may have seen my post about my internet being out for nearly three days due to flooding in my area.  I tried to catch up, but it was simply impossible.

Next, I want to ask for Julia's forgiveness, because this is NOT a quick post like I usually offer.  I'm an in-and-out kind of gal, but not today.  That's because today I have something I want to share with you.

Over the weekend, Bleubeard and I received this lovely package from Kimberly Hogan, whose blog is called Happy Homeschool Room.  I promised I would open it during WOYWW, and that is why WOYWWendy is so happy (and had to jump into camera range).

Once open, I saw this box was full of wonderful goodies, along with a sweet note from Kimmie.

It soon became obvious I would be unable to get everything on the table at the same time.  I fell in love with the rocking horse papers that will find their way in my rocking horse AB.

That's when I had to make room for the remainder of the goodies.  BUT WAIT!!

This darling rocker I had oohed and aahed about on Kimmie's desk one Wednesday

now belonged to me.  Kimmie, you have NO idea how happy this and all the other wonderful things you have sent me made me feel today.  You have truly MADE my day!!  What a perfect day it is.

What an incredible feeling to have other WOYWWers/deskers care so much.  And, for that I am grateful to Julia, our loving host who made it all possible in the first place.

Sorry this was so long, but I needed to apologize for my seeming lack of caring last week, even though it was circumstances beyond my control.  So, if you are coming from Julia's please leave your number.
