Big, big thank you's go out to my family for sending a few gifts down here! My Aunt Mary Ann sent some really great stuff including a picture of my great grand mother before she left Europe for Ellis Island and a name plate from my grand fathers old desk. As soon as I can find some double sided tape, that name plate will be mounted by my door.
In a box from my sister, was some more great stuff! Toothpaste, pictures, and a wonderful beverage packaged in the USA. Pictured below is my "Private Reserve" of Diet Coke. The cans are of New Zealand origin and are available in the store here. The bottles are from The States and will be saved for special occasions:
- Birthday
- Christmas
- New Years
- Mid Winter
- July 4th
- Departure from South Pole
(Note: The neon sign on the right was a gift from my mom some years ago. To my knowledge, this is the only neon for a thousand miles.)
