    Default Mystery parcel

    Today a parcel arrived on my doorstep from Island Specialty Timbers, containing a couple of very nice myrtle & sassafras turning blanks. Correctly addressed to me, but no note or sender's address. One of them still has the price on it, and it wasn't cheap.
    My daughter & her hubby were sailing in the area, but swear blind they didn't send it. I do know a couple down there, but they would have no reason to send me any timber, and if they did, I'm sure they would have put a note in with it, or at least a sender's address.
    I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth - I'm very grateful to whoever sent it, but I really would like to know who to thank. If anyone from IST can give me a clue (even initials would help), or if the wood fairy has brought an early Christmas present, I'd really like to know.

    Mystery solved, thanks to IST. The timber was sent by a friend who was visiting IST on other business & decided I might like some timber. Very kind thought, and some very nice blanks.

    You have some very thoughtful and dear friends! Congrats and I'm sure you deserve your windfall (karma, I've been told, is a wonderful thing).
    "Come sit down beside me" I said to myself, and although it didn't make sense,
    I held my own hand as a small sign of trust, and together I sat on the fence.
