I learned about friends! Mister Guy and the Lady told me that friends are people who are not part of your family but are special people in your life. They said that friends are people who do things for you and with you because they really like you and care about you. I asked how I could get some friends. They told me that I already had lots of friends. I was surprised when the Lady and Mister Guy told me that. How did I get friends?
The Lady and Mister Guy said that there are people who read my blog and though I have not actually met them, they are still my friends. I learned that people can decide to be your friend based just on what you write in a blog or on your Facebook page. That is kind of scary and kind of cool at the same time. The lady and Mister Guy have some friends that they have met on Facebook and through Capture Your 365, the community of people who like to take pictures like the Lady. Some of these people they have just met online and some they have met in person.
One of the picture taking people that Mister Guy and the Lady have met in person but I have not is Ms. Michele. I have seen her photographs and I have read about her on Facebook. She also sent me some messages on my Facebook page. While we were in Delaware in August, Mr. Guy and the Lady met Ms. Michele and another picture taking friend, Ms. Peggy at Fort Delaware. I did not go tthat day because it was threatening to rain. Blue and Orange furry monsters should not get wet.
Last week Ms. Michele posted on my Facebook page that she was going to send me a package. I wasnt sure what that meant, but Mr. Guy said that was a good thing, something that friends do. Ms. Michele told Mister Guy and the Lady what she was sending, but they did not tell me. They wanted me to be surprised.
The Lady and Mister Guy knew the package was supposed to come today. So when they went out to get the mail, they took me along. They told me to look in the mailbox. Mailbox?
They explained to me that when people send you things, this person called the mail carrier leaves the sent things in this box on the curb. The whole thing seems very mysterious to me, but I did what Mister Guy told me to do;
I looked in the mailbox and saw that there was a white package with my name on it! To Blueper B. That's me!
I wasnt sure what to do with this white rectangle. Mr. Guy said that there was a gift on the inside. I secretly hoped that it might be a T-shirt, but it seemed an odd shape for a shirt. The Lady explained that the enevelope was just to protect the special present that Ms. Michele sent me. I felt better. It could still be a shirt.
By this time, I was getting very excited! I had never opened a package with something special for me inside. Well, really I had never opened any kind of package.
I was so surprised!. Ms. Michele send me a t-shirt from the University of Delaware.
That is where her sons go to school. (There is that school thing again. I need to get to school.) But there was more! She sent a card...
...with lots of happy faces on it and wrote a note especially for me!!
Ms. Michele said she is looking forward to meeting me next time my family and I are in Delaware. She also said she hoped I liked the t-shirt and the other things.
Other things??? Oh yes, she also sent me a University of Delaware button. They have the Blue Hens for a mascot. I think that is great. Mr Guy said that people who are my friends know that I like blue.
Yep, blue and orange are my favorite colors. And guess what!! Ms. Michele sent me some stickers with orange and blue (and a few other colored) monsters on them. They are very cool. The Lady said that now that I know about the mail carrier and the mailbox and packages and cards that maybe I can send a card or a package to a friend. She told me that I could decorate the letter or package with my new monster stickers that way my friends will know that they are getting something from me. Getting a package today from Ms. Michele made me so happy. She sent things that she knew I would like. Now I understand a little more about friends and what they do for each other. I would like to send some packagaes to people and make them as happy as Ms. Michele made me today.
I am one excited blue and orange furry monster. Here are pictures of me in my new t-shirt and button, with my new stickers, and my card.
I am going to wear my new t-shirt tonight to sleep in. But not the button, I might get stuck with the pin if I roll over.
Thank you Ms. Michelle. You are a really good friend!
