Waiting for the Mailman
&
My Secret Decoder Ring

Okay. I think I've done everything right. I saved up some coins, tore off the tops of a lot of cereal boxes. put it all in an envelope, sent it all off and am sitting here waiting for the mailman to bring my new secret decoder ring. Kind of. If you are over say 40, you remember doing this...I hope.

Well I actually did save up my coins, but there were no box tops involved. I did, however, have to fill in some paper work and give up my secret decoder credit card number (that brings it into present times...but I digress). And, in fact, I am waiting for the postman, UPS guy, Fed Ex or a call from Madison to tell me that my stuff is here. In this case, however, I am waiting for a paddle and...yes...a new boat.

Which boat? You'll see when the postman guy gets here. After all, no one likes waiting alone.

Paddle safe...

Way to go SILBS! I thought that the family would have gotten that for you as a combination birthday and father's day present--neither of which you'll be home for. Can hardly wait to see the color combo on the new boat.

The first paragraph of this blog seemed like a repeat of another blog. Also does Lady Linda know about this new boat? Adena is almost ready for her first kayak lesson.

1.Good stories should be told often
2.She knows
3.No, she is not.

I can't wait to see the boat and hear the story. 14 long days to Washburn. Can you at least tell us which country....ok,ok, continent this thing was produced on?

All I know is that I am separated from the home company by vast amounts of water.

Why you devil! LOL I didn't think we were both in the new boat market! Good for you! Mine arrives this weekend and I'm some excited, I'll tell you. As for colours, the builder has told me it's spectacular... hehehe...

Silbs said...

Let's face it. We're so desperate for blog topics that we ordered boats. How on earth are you getting yours so soon? Not fair.

What does Lady Linda get since you are getting a new kayak?

JohnB said...

Lady Linda get's him out of the house more often. I still think that this should be a combined birthday and father's day present.

It is, and I get to pay for it.
