OPA 12 to 14 February 2018, mail R&J, Valentines' Day

Monday was a reading day while did laundry. Finished the first book in Mary Morgan's Dragon Knights series - Dragon Knight's Sword. The last third of book was tense and couldn't put it down. After feeling so bad that didn't want to read, it was nice to just read and laundry and finish both.

Tuesday: prepared Romeo and Juliet books to mail to friends. DVD boxes at post office were perfect fit. Found some Valentines' Day tissue paper. Wide red ribbon was not found :-(  Did find some sorta wide white ribbon. Had stickers to put on the ribbon and white not wide enough. sigh. Did manage to make one little bow for Sandi's book. [reference to her book The Unexpected Woman] Carol H posted to FB they were moving, so texted to see if wanted her copy now or later. She replied that she'll pick up in person. So only four copies to mail out. 

Wanted to write on back of certificate copies with info in red, but only had sharpie in red and showed through. Ruined one copy. Decided to ask Sherri if she wanted the extra copy. 

Enjoyed my usual Tuesday shows even if repeats. 

Wednesday: Up early and ready to go to Forks to mail from there. Remembered Craig and Sharon's items and brought with me. Nice drive down, some rain, mostly not. Stopped a few times along Lake Crescent and took pictures. 

The boxes at the post office were too big for C&S's items and didn't bring packing stuffing. So just the four boxes. Walked to pharmacy to see if they had any night lights. Heard from Sherri and met up at Outfitters. She was thrilled with the gift. Great feeling. She gave me a necklace of Renesmee's locket. Met her granddaughter and had lunch with them. 

Checked in Outfitters for accepted night light. Lady bug and a little red car were close but not close enough. Looked in Native to Twilight and Ace Hardware, no luck for night light. However did find some other things in Native to Twilight. 

Left for home. Stopped at Swain's in Port Angeles. No luck there for decorative night light. Picked up some groceries at Sunny Farms before getting home. After dinner sent regular emails to the four with tracking info on package. 

Best Valentines' Day in a very long time. I was as excited to mail these out as to get and open the box from the Prop Store. It feels good to share these books. 

One person yesterday sent me message asking to buy a copy. They were never for sale at any price. They were always for people who did not have any other item from the movies.
