Another Christmas Clue...Dec. 16, 2009





Speechless...yes ....I am!



Yesterday, another Christmas Clue came in the mail.



This time we opened and read it on the way to taking Kyle to the doctor. Both Kyle and I have been ill since Sunday evening...however thinking that the worse of it was over by Monday evening....Kyle and I, both, fooled ourselves in thinking we would be well enough to handle a full day of work for me, and school for Kyle. By 9:00 Tuesday night we looked like death warmed over, and both of our throats were on fire. Kyle getting the worse part of the deal as now he had pink eye in not just one eye, but rather both eyes.

Yup....both of us...Kyle with his need for constant interaction....and me with my need to "take on the world" ...came to a screeching halt as we both crashed into that brick wall that said..."STOP! YOU ARE SICK -GO TO BED AND GET REST!"

So yesterday I drove my "mini-me" to the doctor to get that pink eye treated...and that's when we read the Christmas Clue letter. Now I must admit something here...I am turning into a little kid with the anticipation I am feeling each and every time I see the mail lady. And for some reason today...that anticipation called out loudly as I watched our mail lady put the mail in the box.

At the time I was sitting in the car ...waiting for Kyle to get his shoes on.


We were already running late.....typical for me.

And that's when I saw her....that when I saw she had more than just the usual junk mail and letters from bill collectors in her hands.


She was no further than my bottom stair, and I had already darted out of the car to see what she was placing in my mailbox...

And there it was....another Christmas Clue....

Carefully I inspected the envelope...this time it was sent from LaCrosse...this time it was addressed to the children....and this time it contained a gift certificate for (3) Christmas dinners for the children and I - (see picture)

No letter this time...just a sticky note attached to the certificate that said dinner was for Christmas day, after our stay at the hotel...........

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......??


Who is this Santa?....and who are his elves?

The not knowing is killing me....I mean after all...I HAVE to KNOW EVERY THING!!!!

Kyle and I are starting to feel better...we're recovering from this nasty cold....but needless to say we both are going crazy with anticipation...and that need to know...........

Yes, this is the most UNIQUE Christmas I've ever had....

So many miracles I've seen take place with Lend a Hand...

And now this...these Christmas Clues....

Who would believe?
