ANDREA AND HIS NEW SHOES!!

It took 35 days to get there but Andrea finally got his birthday present in the mail on thursday!!
It seems Italian customs aren't very trustworthy of packages coming into their country
wrapped in Sesame Street paper....Mom reports the custom folks carefully unwrapped the boxes then carefully re-wrapped them....
Sorry custom guys.....Just sneakers....
And the shoes still fit!!!
Andrea's feet are growing at an alarming rate for a 2 year old but there is still room
for him to grow into them.....
How adorable is this little guy........
I was very happy to hear from Mom this morning but still reported the idiot from the
Post Office to his superiors.......
I'm just a natural born troublemaker.....

Hi Sue!

I don't know Eli ..we may have crossed blog comments somewhere along the way :-) Her Andrea is adorable! I love the red sneakers you sent to him for his birthday!

I've sent many a package to Italy as all my husband's aunts and uncles and cousins live there...and I hate to say it but very often they don't make it to their destination! Even cards sometimes don't make it unless we don't seal them but just tuck in the back so they can see there is nothing in them. It's a sad fact that if someone along the way (and I'm not sure which side that happens on) wants what is sent it just "disappears"! Very discouraging.

Sue,

He is so adorable and those "red" sneakers look so cute on him. I bet even at 2 he was excited to be getting a present. You thoughtful little Italian.

That's my boy with his big feet ... He wore the shoes all day and, guess what, also wanted them to bed! Thanks again AM, all my love!

... I reached a compromise: they remain on the table near the bed for the night ...

How cute... he wanted to wear them to bed! I think I remember way, way back in the dark ages when I was a kid, I felt the same way about my Roy Rogers cowboy boots:-)

Hi Sue...

This little guy is just DARLING!! Are you supposed to say that about a boy? I sure say it about my little grandson... :-) I'm so glad your package got there before he headed off to college.

Hugs,
Spencer

Yay! I'm so glad your package made it. You know, I have always thought those Sesame Street characters seemed a little shifty looking, lol.

Mama Mia! Thank God. Andrea is so adorable and those shoes look so cute on his feet. I expect to turn on the TV and find that this unsuspecting postal worker was let go. Not to worry since there are millions of hard working Americans who would love to have this postal clerks job. I love a story with a Happy ending:)

He's a cutie! Goodness they unwrapped and rewrapped! Well at least they did that. Mail must be very slow there if they go through all that trouble!

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

TIME OUT..........................

In the best interest of my left hand I find it necessary to take a short break from blogging.......that nasty staph infection has refused to go away and with no signs of it improving I need to stop using the computer......every time I go online to type the finger resembles W.C. Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
