    According to the DC the package has arrived, but I have not. I am away working but plan on heading in later today.
    Fortunately I have an alternate location the mailman leaves packages for me and I can retrieve it on my way home.
    I will follow up when I send it on it's way.

    And I'm after you Deb! I'm beginning to feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas to get here, how about you? I received some seeds in the mail today from an online order, and didn't get anything done for the first hour I was home. I was too busy playing with the new seeds!

    Happy Superbowl Weekend Everyone!!!

    I'll post when the box is here. :)

    Hi,
    The box did arrive today, sorry for not posting sooner. I had a million things to do today and our mail comes later during the day. After supper I went through the box, picked out some seeds that I've wanted to try- and replaced what I took. :)
    The box is packed up and ready to be shipped out to Dan Monday morning!

    Thank you so much Jennifer for such a fun seed round robin! I really enjoyed both of them so much!

    Dan,
    Be prepared to receive a very fat round robin! Also, I have a feeling this is the last time the box can be used. It's a little bit worn out, but ok to use one more time. I taped it well! I'm sure your going to have a lot of fun Dan going through all the seeds, I know I did! ;)

    I'm sooo tired, so will make this short. It's really late!

    Deb

  • dan_the_mailman

    Deb, I'm ready! I've got some birdseed, water, and a cage all ready for the robin when it arrives...lol! It'll have to stay in the cage so Bump and Stella don't eat it...(chuckle). Thanks for the heads-up on the condition of the box. I've got some here at the house, and if it needs a different size than what I have, I'll be able to pick one up at the office. It's sooo convenient to work at the post office at times! The only bad thing about working there is that, when my mail carrier brings me my boxes (like she'll do with this one) all I want to do is stop and see what's inside the box! Lol, but, I'll behave myself and wait until I get home to peruse the contents. It'll be difficult, but I'll do it.

    Really, I will.

    Thank you for the info Deb and you are very welcome. Dan you might need a big cage lol. You might need a lifesaver to save you from the Robin.

    Dan's delivery confirmation number- 0310 0480 0003 7104 8959. I'll be leaving in 45 minutes to an hour for the post office. I'm waiting for our post man to deliver a african violet package, and don't want the plants left sitting on the front step, it's too chilly today! My Daughter will be home with in a hour- so I'll have someone home to accept the package so I can finally go!

    The dc should be able to be tracked in a few hours. :)
    Dan's going to have A LOT of fun! Start getting excited Dan, LOL! ;)

    My violets arrived, I made it to the post office!
    Box on the way!

  • dan_the_mailman

    I just checked the usps.com site, and the box is heading North! YAYYYYY!!!
    It's like waiting for Christmas morning to arrive, when will Santa get here? What will be underneath the tree with my name on it? What's he going to put in the stockings?
    The funny thing is, my two cats have no idea this box is on its way, and when I'm going through it to look at all the seeds, they will be doing the same thing right beside me. They love to investigate boxes, help plan my gardens, and look over anything I bring into the house. I've got pictures of Stella eating celery, would you believe it? LOL! Gardening is really a family affair here, and I think it's just too cool! Lol, just wait until they see what's in this box!

  • dan_the_mailman
    13 years ago

    The seed box is in grand rapids, heading my way! I may get it tomorrow, which would be extremely cool!

    (Can you tell I'm excited???)

  • dan_the_mailman
    13 years ago

    Just a quick note before heading back into the kitchen...
    The box is here, safe and sound. The soonest I'll be able to go through it will be Friday night, birthday party tonight and then a good-bye party for a sister who's moving to Arizona tomorrow night. I did take a peek though while the cakes were baking, it looks like someone dumped the major part of a seed catalog in there! Gotta go decorate cakes, and then the house, but wanted to let you all know it's here. I'll post when I've got it in the mail!

  • dan_the_mailman
    13 years ago

    Good News! The b-day celebration went great last night, my sisters' send-off finished up early tonight so she can get an early start in the morning, and I've just gone through the box and made my selections! Now I just need to replace the seeds with ones from my stash, and I'll probably be sending out the box to Michelle tomorrow, Saturday at the latest.
    Bump, Stella, and I all enjoyed going through the boxful of baggies filled with seeds! If anyone has any allergies to cats, be warned, there may be a stray cat hair or two in the box...lol! They picked out some seeds for themselves and have graciously informed me that they're going to "allow" me to grow flowers for them. Isn't that just so nice of them??? LOL!
    Back to the seeds...

    -Dan

  • Debra Andruska
    13 years ago

    There was so many seeds to go through, I ended up needing 2 asprins by the time I was done looking at all the tiny writing, LOL! I went to bed with a headache!

    Cathair-- My Spooky was looking through the box too, Bump and Stella must of been able to tell Spooky was there first! He was checking it out to see if there was any catnip seeds in there! ;)

    Tammie, this round robin is almost over, needing to only to make 3 more stops before heading home.
    Stay tuned though, and keep checking this forum. There are new round robins beginning all the time, and you just need to sign-up before the swap boxes begin making their rounds.
