An enormous caterpillar!

The wild, wonderful, generous and impulsive Linda and Dianne sent us a treasure trove of gifts today all the way from Gloucester, Massachusetts, including a furry caterpillar 7 feet long, “Juggling for Complete Klutzses (for me!), a dress enrirely covered in watermelons, pears, lemons and cherries and the most luxuriant bathrobe you have every seen. There’s more stuff in there we haven’t even glimpsed yet. I don’t know how they got such a huge box of unexpected pleasure over here so fast.

We were exhausted after a bad night with Lucinda, and then had this most excellent surprise. Thanks, guys.
