Today I went to the post office and took my prize from Kate's Poetry Contest. Thank you both KD and LadyB! All is so beautiful! A geode from Utah (thanks Steve!), a Brazilian slab very nicely colored and having thin stripes, a crystal from Arkansas, a gorgeous cab made of picture jasper, a very nice piece of Arizona pet wood, and that's not all! There's even something special for my daughter, a plume agate (I think) pendant with chain, which she enjoyed very much! And, again, that's not all! There are two beautifully tumbled pet woods with magnets on them, that can be placed on any metallic surface. KD, thanks, I was wondering what to do with my ever growing pile of tumbled stones and now I know! I also know whom to thank when my fridge's door will drop down because of its weight ;D And, once again, that's not all! KD sent me something even for my cats, and it seems they like it: Thanks again from overseas LadyBeabea and KD, This contest was not one to miss And both of you took care of me! Me, being just a humble non-English speaker Among those poets whose talent anyone would scare, My chances would have been much weaker Without your kindness and your care! Adrian

Adrian,
I am so happy KD's prizes reached you AND you took photos for all of us to enjoy the prizes with you. I only knew about one of the prizes beforehand--that gorgeous Picture Jasper cab. It was killing me not to spill the beans on that one!! I wanted to post the photo that KD had shared with me but I couldn't because it would have spoiled your surprise!!
WOW! KD sure did pack a lot of neat stuff into that box so that cab wouldn't be lonely on its long journey! And she even thought of your kitty-cats!
WTG KD!! I'm sure Adrian will not hold you overly responsible when the 'frige door falls off its hinges! I just hope the cats aren't chasing feathers near it when that happens! ;D
And, Adrian, thank you for your poem in this thread, all of the wonderful poems you submitted for the Contest, and for all your hard work and enthusiasm. RTH would be lost without you!
Lady B

RTH lost without me? Come on, LadyB, I'm just a bee in the hive, doing the best to make good honey, but that honey is the result of all of us! The hive is lost only if the queen is lost, and I don't think I'm the queen ;D

Nice prizes Adrian, you deserve them! WTG KD that was sweet of you. The only problem I see is the gift KD sent to your two inspectors. When you bring some more rock home; your inspectors maybe playing with their gift instead of doing the job they are suppose to do. LOL Daniel
