I love mail!

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

I spotted the package sticking out of the mailbox as I trudged home from a late workout at the gym.

Please oh please oh please let it be something fun for me.

(Yes, I’m selfish like that.)

When I saw Ms. Porter‘s name in the return address I grinned, and suddenly I knew what it was. She sent me a copy of October, by Richard B. Wright.  Woot!

Her timing was perfect, because I have been desperate for something new to read.

And I almost almost missed it, but she sent me a little fishy game piece for our collection as well. So sweet.

Thank you Porter, you made my day!

I never saw this post until tonight….I googled porters ponderings just to see what would come up and lookie….odd that I missed it! You are so welcome. I didn’t know whether or not you got the fishy game piece, I know it isn’t vintage but it came from my girl’s ‘Gone Fishing’ game…they’ve lost some pieces (broken or just MIA) so I decided to put one in your package. Glad you got it. oxo

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
