Tall Mom is Super Nice

As many of you know- Mel, of Tall Mom on the Run, recently completed the Seattle Rock N Roll Marathon as part of Marathon for the Cure - because of her "fun" fundraising ideas she raised over $1,800.  WOW!!!

As an almost 6 year survivor (diagnosed Sept 8, 2004) of breast cancer - I am drawn to the Susan G. Komen organization.  I, like many many readers, contributed to the cause.  In case you missed it - Mel dedicated mile 21 to me.  See her post here.  Needless to say - I was honored when I read this.  We have never met - but from the start Mel has always had kind words and thoughtful responses.  Love her.

Anyway - she emailed me to see what size I was - the Komen organization had sent her a small running tank and she wanted to send it to me - if it would fit.  Well it was the perfect size and it arrived today.

I biked to work today and was TIRED biking home.  This was my first day back to work since last Thursday - and I didn't leave work until 5:45 - so that means that I got home around 6:20.  I went to the mail box and there was a package - addressed to me - from Mel.  ;-)  Isn't it GREAT to receive something in the mail - there is just something exciting about getting a package - it is a special day.

what's that - under the Costco connection?

a present from Tall Mom  ;-)

A heartfelt note

a cute tank and ???

a ribbon ornament

I tried it on - over my sweaty (just got home from biking) body.   It fits perfect.  

My shorts snap is sort of sticking out - looks sort of odd  !!!!!

I can't wait to wear it for a run - it will be part of my Saturday 10 mile run outfit.  

THANKS Mel - your kindness MADE MY DAY!   The fun and joy of blogging and meeting so many nice people . . .  priceless.  

Enjoy the weekend

PEACE

Linda
