delivery


Last Friday my husband had an engine for his truck delivered to the house.
It wasn't just any normal Fex Ex truck that delivered it, but a larger truck complete with a hydraulic lift on the back. At some point my daughter, who is 4, excitedly said,

"I hope it's FABRIC!"

Fed-Ex must have stopped by before with a delivery...yes? It stopped by my place today - no hydraulic lift.

Cheryl said...

Amanda Jean, I had a long day today and just as I was about to shut down my computer for the evening, I stopped by your blog and read this post. Thanks for the best laugh i had all day. Out of the mouths of babes. She is a future quilter, sewer, I can see it. She is four and hoping for fabric. Too adoreable.
