Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope that everyone has had, as great a Valentine’s Day, as I have! And, I want to thank everyone that has called or written to wish us a Happy Valentine’s Day!

Thirty minutes ago, a UPS truck drove up to our trailer, to deliver a package to the rescue ranch. Tony and I weren’t expecting any deliveries, and we couldn’t figure out what was in the box or who had sent it. The label on the outside of the box, showed that it had been shipped from Jeffer’s Pet.

Tony carried the box inside, and opened it—to find thirty-six of the prettiest dog collars—in assorted colors and sizes! And, they were the buckle up kind, that we prefer to use on our dogs!

“Tony,” I said. “Who sent these? Is there a card inside?”

Tony pulled the collars out of the box, to find that there was no card or invoice slip, except for a new Jeffer’s Pet catalog. “I have no idea who sent these, Nance.” Then he opened up the catalog—and a blue colored invoice—fell to the floor. Tony picked it up, looked at it and then smiled—“Mari Bailey sent these!”

“That doesn’t surprise me, Tony. This isn’t the first time, that Mari has surprised us with gifts for our dogs, and I’m fixin’ to surprise her right back! I am going to blog about her right now, and I hope that— The Nomads read it! She just made this—the best Valentine’s Day ever!”

P.S. Mari, thank you so much for the dog collars! Our dogs will love them as much as we love you! You Rock!
