It's the little things ...

 


Thanks to Covid-19, we're getting in the holiday mood a little early this year. 

 My brother and his wife bought a pop-up trailer three years ago. Since then, they've upgraded twice to other "towables," (see how I've got the lingo down?). They have become real fans of camping (mostly at parks and campgrounds). They love the camaraderie and they have several other families they hang out with.

I saw the little camper in a catalog that came wayyyyy back in August. I bought it in early October, and it's been sitting in my entryway ever since. (Let me assure you, I was totally able to sweep around it.) I didn't want to wait until Christmas to give it to them, but this morning my brother went to the Public Market and dropped off some cider donuts and croissants for Mr. L, and wonderful cinnamon scones for me. As we put up our Christmas lights yesterday and are getting in the holiday mood, and I didn't know when I'd next see my brother, I gave him the box (with batteries) this morning. (We both had our masks on!)

I'm pretty sure he rolled his eyes when they opened the box, but the sister-in-law was thrilled! (After all, she was the one who wanted to start camping.)

Knowing she loves it, made my day.  I think it's been sold out, but you can buy something similar from the same company here.

What's going to make your day?
