Five-Minute Friday...

 Happy Friday, everyone!  Today I will try to do this blog in Five Minutes, as prompted by Lisa-Jo at The Gypsy Mama .  I do need to confess, that what I type write now is not on the clock, nor was the loading of the photos, as that pretty much ate up my five minutes.  However,  I do have my timer set and will begin after the word go below.

Lisa-Jo's prompt this morning was:
"Stop, drop, and write. That’s what we do for five minutes here on Fridays.
No tweaking, no back-tracking, no self-editing. Just words. Lots of lovely words for a full five minutes.
This week the prompt is:What’s the best mail you got recently – email, text, or snail mail?"


GO:

Well, this is easy for me this week.  If you read the previous post, you know that I was going to check my mailbox on Tuesday to see if a letter had come from one of my sponsor children.  I had been hoping that I would get something from Katherine, as I haven't received anything from her yet.  I went out and checked right after posting, but alas the mail had not come.  Have I mentioned that I'm obsessed with getting mail?  I am!  The mail did come later around 5pm.  And I was disappointed because there wasn't a cream-coloured envelope with those special words on it for me... there was a bubble mailer from Compassion, and I assumed that it was the Compassion Sunday info I had ordered from them.  So, you can imagine my delight when I got into the house and opened it and was puzzled by the felt red hat with a white pompom on it...  It was a Christmas card and letter from Camilo, that had been written on December 9th!  Wow!  So awesome!  There were also two small pictures in the card.  A photo of him and then one with him and his mom and sister!  Delightful.

There was a mystery though, because his mom's name and sister's name aren't the same as in the first letter that I received from him...  have to wait and see about that.

DONE!
