Funny Story

When I returned home last November for my Grandfather's funeral, I noticed my Grandmother had some crochet projects started with enough yarn to get a good head start on a blanket. So I asked her if I could take it back with me and finish it. I had figured out that I learn better while doing something with my hands which makes me a tactile learner. So in some of my language school classes I would sit and crochet, and this would help me to concentrate so much better. I was able to finish it before we left Costa Rica.

So here is the funny part. Before we left we sent some of the girls school work back to the states because we wanted to keep it but not necessarily travel with it. So Aaron took it and mailed them the day we moved out of our house. The next day we were visiting the Dewetts in their new house which was our old house and a guy on a moto rode up and asked for Aaron Woods and said the postmaster needed to talk with him about his package. Come to find out he had given Aaron the wrong price for the postage and the way they found us is because Aaron had put our Costa Rican address as the return address. So after he paid this I started thinking about something. About 2 weeks before I had mailed this blanket back to my Grandmother in one box and in another one my Dad's jeans and a duffle bag that belonged to my parents. We paid more to send the jeans than we did for the blanket because they weighed more. So now I am worried that my Grandmother was not going to receive the box because there was not enough postage. So I started praying. My dad received his jeans and the duffle bag but still my Grandmother waited. When we arrived in Mexico City I called my parents to let them know we were safe and my dad said "I need to tell you something." He proceeded to tell me that my Grandmother's box had arrived at their house in Independence, MO instead of Springfield, MO because I had put my parents address as the return address. And stamped all over the box was "Return to Sender. Insufficient postage." Doesn't God have a great sense of humor!!! Hope this brightened your day as it did mine that day a few weeks ago. The pattern in the blanket is an 'L' which stands for my Grandfather's name "Leroy" who passed away at the end of October. I love you Grandpa and Grandma Day!
