Some things come in twos. You know: animals on Noah's Ark, twins, a pair of shoes or gloves. This Christmas week, I received my own unexpected but perfectly matched pair.
The first came in Wednesday from Mona, Orlando and Ramona's Nana out in Vancouver, Washington. That day, midday my time, morning out there, she texted me this:
That is one of my biscottis in her hand, a present I gladly send out there every Christmas.
The pair was unexpectedly completed an hour later, by my longtime friend Kevin, who lives about 30 miles away but has been a magistrate in our municipal court here for a number of years. Kevin had stopped by last week on his way home to pick up—what else?—some biscotti that I offered him. Early afternoon he texted me this:
I couldn't have planned those photos coming in the same day if I tried!
Here's to warm holidays full of laughter and light and friends and family and love.
And, in this case, biscotti.

Those are literally sweet pictures of appreciation. My one and only attempt at biscotti would not have yielded thank you photos.
A beautiful example of your love spreading far and wide, and coming back to you! It made me smile.
Sam, I have the world's easiest biscotti recipe (and have posted it on my blog more than once). I can talk you through it if/when you're game.
I love your "sweet pictures of appreciation" comment: yes, they are. They warmed my heart when they came in.
Thank you, dear Laurie, for your very kind words. Those photos made me smile too.
