Kiwi Greetings in My Mailbox!

I was delighted to open my mailbox this afternoon to find a lovely Christmas card from the equally lovely Rachel at Life Being Beautiful. As I told her, this is the first mail I've ever received from New Zealand, and it's pretty cool to think that she would go to the trouble (and expense) to send it to me and MLB.

She also enclosed some postcards showing some of the amazing New Zealand scenery. I'm sure each of us is quite satisfied with where we live, but it's hard to argue that Rachel doesn't live in the most beautiful land on the face of the earth.

Every time I think about quitting this blogging business, something like this comes along and reminds me of why I do it. Merry Christmas, Rachel...and the same to the rest of you guys, too!

My family has a friend from New Zealand. He's talented, articulate, intelligent, well educated (graduated with his master's from Rice) and personable. Pictures he showed us from home substantiate what you've observed from your postcards. You should consider making a trip over there! I know I'd like to visit that part of the world!

My pleasure in sending you the postcards (I knew you'd like them!). You can have a few each Christmas now that you are on my offical Christmas list (if you like)!!!

I am glad I was able to bless you in the same way you bless me by sharing yourself.

Have a great Christmas,
Rachel.
