I snapped the photo below on Wednesday morning while driving to work. I had just topped the rise leading out of our valley and this is the view that greeted me. I pulled over and took a few photos......what a great way to start my day.
I was able to leave work a bit early on Wednesday and my first stop before heading to the store was the post office. I came out with a bundle of mail and a package. I was surprised to find a package slip in my mail box. Then it took them awhile to find the package in the back due to a mailing address mix up...but the package was indeed for me. It wasn't until I got home that I realized that the package was from my brother. My brother and his family sent me the lovely gift basket below. It is filled with so many yummy goodies....like chocolate sticky toffee, creme brulee cookies, sugar cookies, golden Ceylon tea bags, cashew roca, truffles, a little wheel of brie cheese, Napa Valley gourmet mustard, crackers and the cutest little cheese plate. I was so pleased and thrilled to get this surprise in the mail. My brother and his family sent this gift to me as a "congratulations - job well done" on getting my new job.
Thank you George, Eva and Adriana so much for thinking of me....you made my day!
Now excuse me while I go sample some goodies from my basket, have a nice glass of wine and watch the movie Tall Tale with Countrychick.

What a lovely sunrise photo! A perk of now driving to work every morning....you get to enjoy these great views and snap a few to share with us! I'm wondering how far you have to drive each day; good thing fuel prices have come down!
Great variety of gifts there in the basket! How thoughtful of your brother and his family! Pass me the chocolate toffee, please!!
Hope you're having a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!
