Showing Thanks

People often show their gratitude in different ways. From the gentle verbal affirmation, to the extreme physical affirmation and everything in between.

Tonight, Jenny and I received the "anonymous surprise gift" kind of gratitude. Jenny is going to New Orleans this weekend to spend the next week there with her work. She started packing already (something which is well beyond me) and that meant she had to pull out a suitcase.

The last time our suitcases were used was for my parents' trip to Alaska and their cruise (the same trip). They gave the verbal affirmation upon returning the luggage, but it wasn't until Jenny opened it tonight that we found the "anonymous surprise gift" of gratitude. 1 package of peanuts, 2 packages of cashews and 4 packs of Big Red gum.

Thanks Mom and Dad. (I'm chewing a piece of the gum right now)
