The Gurgle Pot

So, this week has been a little ho-hum......

until Thursday afternoon.

 I get home from work to discover a package on my front steps. I quickly start searching my brain...did I order something from E-Bay and forget I ordered it? Etsy maybe??

(I have been out of sorts lately and a little more "scattered" than usual, so it would not surprise myself if I did something and then completely forgot)

So I take the package inside...

(the mere fact that I was so intrigued and documented this through pictures tells you exactly HOW hum-drum this week has been :-)

So I take out all of the packing peanuts to find a GURGLE POT!!!!!

I love these things! Clell and I got everyone Gurgle Pots for Christmas, but have been putting off buying one for ourselves. And it is in blue, which is our color theme throughout the house.

Inside I find a tiny little note with the purchasers name: Jane Bye.

Let me tell you about Jane:

She was one of my college social work professors.
 She took our class to "Peace Camp." She loves Bruce Springsteen.
She is uber-liberal. 

She taught us social welfare policy and research and actually made it FUN.
She is a kind, gentle spirit.

She is one-of-a kind.
She now lives in Alaska.

I am so proud to call her my mentor and friend.

Thank you so much Jane, for brightening my week.


XOXO

(this is the first week I haven't cried every single day, so that's progress...:-)

And for those of you who don't know the story of the Gurgle Pots, here it is:

(for those of you who live in Abilene, you can purchase these at "It's About Time")
