the mystery gift













Bet ya can't guess what this is! We wrapped it so it would be a surprise even though the recipient was with us when the purchase was made. Despite the two month delay, he maintains enthusiasm and so it seemed fitting to disguise the gift and bring it downstairs to further the torture of the wait!

Excitement is running high, boxes are being shaken and guessing is rampant... but nobody's talking. The pat answer to, "So, what's inside the box?" is "A Skillsaw." We adopted this reply when M was little because she tended to be a bit too honest when pumped for information. In order to have some surprises on Christmas morn, every package contained a Skillsaw until opened. It stuck and now, unless you want to hear "Skillsaw", don't even bother asking!
