A surprise package from Mexico

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Oh! Things!

… was waiting for me behind the door this morning. ~~You will never guess what was inside.~~ [Pic added below!] I am still laughing. ;)

Sheila guessed it. It’s from Tomas, a reader in Mexico. Also in the stash was the Spanish copy of Reader’s Digest. That entry, with a scan,Â is here.

Thank you Tomas… you made my day! :)

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. 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.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
