    Default What a Wonderful Surprise!!! :)

    Hey everyone!

    Got a knock on the front door this evening....the UPS man had just delivered a package.....I brought it in and it was a huge box of Omaha Steaks from my brother and his family for Christmas! It has filet minons, top sirloin steaks, chicken breasts, hamburgers, hot dogs, scalloped potatoes, and a chocolate cake...

    It is something we can really use right now because after we bought items to make Christmas brunch this year, we ran out of money for regular groceries. Of course, no one knew that but us and God...

    What a really nice surprise! I feel like a kid in a candy store!!!
