A Parcel!!

IT'S HERE!!! IT'S HERE!!! ALL THE WAY FROM SOUTH AFRICA!!!!


Freddie and Gloria's gift exchange presents from Sammy and Wally!  I can't believe it came so fast.  We sent our exchanges early as the post office said it would be 4-6 weeks for delivery. I sure hope they get their parcel from Freddie and Gloria soon too!


"Momma, Freddie won't let me see!"


"Fine!  Here Gloria have a sniff."


"Oh, it smell really good in here Momma!"



Their box was filled to the brim with presents and treats and they each got their own card!


Look at the treats.  They are Slobber Chops! Wally and Sammy posted about them awhile ago.  You can read all about them here.


They are all home baked with natural ingredients and a percentage of sales goes to Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation Centers. Freddie got peanut butter and Gloria got biltong.  I decided to let them have the treats now and save the presents for Christmas.  


Gobble guts Gloria was right in there.


"Nom,nom,nom............."


Freddie Spaghetti loved them too! I had to monitor them so they didn't eat the whole bag.  Even though Freddie and Gloria are a little ticked at me because I'm making them wait until Christmas to open their presents, they still managed to get in the spirit of Christmas to thank their friends.


"Now Momma?"
"Yes, Fred."


"Thank you Wally!"


"Thank you Sammy!"

    We are so happy your parcel arrived, AND it was all in one piece AND that you liked the Slobber Chops :) Mom says you should open the little red baggie when you put your Christmas tree up...ok?

  3. Can't believe you got your presents already. We've done the shopping, but we're not going to send them for awhile. Our exchange just live to the south of us. We think that picture of Gloria with the slobber chop says it all!

  17. That is so cool! What a fun idea! When we lived in Germany we always had issues sending gifts across the ocean, sometimes it took a week, sometimes 6, very unpredictable! Happy early holidays!

  39. Hey Fred, Hey Gloria, Jet here. Hi Miss Janet.

    What a great holiday parcel... loved seeing items we do not have in the tropics. Mom had to look up biltong. Uh, Miss Janet? Guess what? Mom saved your post and the biltong info for her newsletter. We'll let you know when she uses it in her Ask Lori or Expanding My Palate (ok her faithful Kitchen K9s palate!)
