It is Officially Autumn!
Sometime around the first week of every October for the last 20 years
I have recived a package from my father.
Every year I scoop up the package and wonder what my Daddy sent me.
I am curious and giddy and I hold my breath as I open the package.
What could he be sending me??
Then at some point about half way through the tape I remember what it is.
My October treasure.
It is a warm blanket from my childhood.
It starts my holiday season off with a smile
and a genuine felling of well being.
Every year with out a note or a signiture my father
puts his love in a box and sends it my way.
It is fall, it is family time it is the child inside.
All of those things in a silly box of state fair taffy.
