Re: It's here!



Just fir fun, I received my shipping notice SIX MINUTES after I sent this email! I did not notice it among all the chatter - several email lists I subscribe to sort of "blew up” and I am just now getting through them. 

Tuesday is the delivery date, and I do not know how many boxes  am getting. Looking forward to it.
