Feeling better today. Penny will attribute it to that anti-histamine she insisted I take. I think it has more to do with the aspirins I finally broke down and took. Plus a nice shower, of course.
I just got the loveliest surprise and mystery in the mail. Some very sweet, kind soul sent me a hankie, enclosed in a plastic bag, and with a printed note:
Just Sharing The Love - ENJOY!!!!!! From Engelbert's show in Brooks, California Cache Creek Casino/Club 88 February 7, 2014
The note is printed in large print, so from someone who knows I don't see very well. It is unsigned. And Sis can't quite make out the return address, though it seems just to be the address of the casino. There are initials that could be EB or EH...
The person who sent this to me is wonderfully kind! It is a thoughtful and touching gift that brought tears to my eyes.
I've gone over and over in my mind who could have sent it, and there's really only one logical solution, my friend Shirley. It's not Ted, because he's in Toronto. It's not Melodie; she's in Florida, and besides I'm not sure she has my street address. Linda's in Oklahoma, and Gene is in Washington and I don't think she would drive all the way down to California. It's the sort of sweet thing TC would do, but she doesn't frequent EH concerts... Come to that, it's the sort of thing Alan would do, but unless he's been holding out on me, I don't think it's from him. So the only one left is Shirley. But even she isn't a sure thing in that while I knew she was planning to go to a couple shows in Nevada, I don't remember her mentioning California. That's a bit far flung from Arizona. Of course, it might be my fan club president, Sandy, though I don't remember her mentioning that she and Hazel were going out to California, but I might just have missed it...
Of course, on sober reflection I come to the conclusion that it isn't personal at all, but some sort of promotional gimmick. Everybody on some particular mailing list got a hankie... Even if that's the answer, though, I'm still thrilled to have an Enge hankie!
It may well be that it didn't go out to the whole fan club, but to someone in the club who does much to bring the music of her tuneful hero to others. However you got it, I'm heart glad you did! ♥
Three ladies were bragging about their sons to one another. The first said, “My son is a priest; parishioners call him Father.” The second said, “My son is a judge; lawyers call him Your Honor.” The third lady said, “My son is a union representative. When he walks into a room, CEO’s say “Oh dear Lord.”
The country needs Dr. Dean!

It's the shower that did it. *grin* Glad you're feeling better.

I confess that I'm not guilty.

Ahem, is today Puddle's birthday?
ReplyDeleteNa. My *half* birthday is the 18 of March, but. . . .
DeleteOh, that's right. You're the day before my Aunt Patty.
DeleteAlso the day before Sweetie's late brother Larry's.

That's a pretty good one; I will have to remember it. Thanks, Cat.
