Today - a special day

 I received this card in the mail this morning.

 It wasn't signed. But the postal code on the cancellation indicated it came from British Columbia.

The Best News Ever!
And it came on my birthday.
It was sent on the 13th.
From across the country, that is unreal considering Canada Post.
Someone was watching over this piece of mail,
to have it delivered on the 18th.



Now I have to make a quilt - in bright colours and keeping in mind that it may end up being a sucky blanket.

Note: This is the first grandchild for us and the new aunts and uncles are very happy too.

  16. WOW - could there be any better birthday gift???? That is so cool, congrats to you and the parents-to-be! And a belated happy birthday to you!

    You might want to consider making two quilts just the same - just in case one gets loved to death. My son had a quilt that I found at a garage sale [it was GORGEOUS] and he loved it to pieces, literally. He was devasted when the last little bit fell apart. My girlfriend bought her son's blankets in multiple's, so when his special one fell apart she had a replacement.

    Again, a big congrats - this is so exciting!
