I had a package delivered by FedEx on Saturday and two more yesterday. [The driver just picked them up.] The addressee used to live here six years ago. She's in Texas now. I contacted her via Facebook.

This sorta happened to me -- the identical address, I mean. I punched in my brother's street address in Arizona into my phone's map search, and three identical addresses came up, right down to the North -- his, one in North Carolina, and one in Texas. This was new to me. Wow! :shock:

TLAF taught one of her senior friends how to needlepoint.

Her reward was a wonderful cake from Collin Street Bakery. Every Christmas - from the woman’s family as a thank you for all the Christmas presents the senior friend made for her grandchildren.

Some of those needlepoint ornaments are now gracing the trees of the adult grandkids, So, I have a very soft spot for the Collin Street Bakery.

We have sent them out as thank you gifts - good stuff.

Good to hear of the bakery's rep. Looking forward to this pecan pie!
