I checked my email this morning and got a wonderful surprise... this email from our buddy Deb Meister. I knew she was a talented artist, but I had no idea she was a poet as well! (and no, she's not even on the payroll - although I may put her on it for this!)

'Twas the night before Friday, when through the mail I did plow.
Not an auction was ending, not even "buy it now";

The envelopes were examined and sorted with care,
In hopes that some brown ones would be found in there;

Junk mail was found and quickly tossed out,
I believe I was just about starting to pout;

But me in my work clothes no time to get comfy,
Had discovered a good one that felt kind of lumpy,

With return label examined, I sprang from my chair.
For what did I find, but 2CHIPPERS was there.

Tore open the envelope and threw up the my hands.
All sorts of FREEBIES on my desk did land.

But try as I will and try as I might,
Will and Wayne a big THANK YOU, Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!

Thank you, Deb! Stuff like this makes all this trouble worth-while!
