Doesn’t FedEx or UPS or some delivery service do that for you now? Thought I saw commercials advertising that they do.

SIGH. Leave it to Cathy to take holiday shopping (and gift wrapping) to the [eye-roll] extreme …
HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, Clan.

I certainly have enough bubble wrap, peanuts, and boxes collected during the year that I could give some to Cathy to wrap that gift.
A beautiful spring day today. A couple of degrees above freezing and even the ice is melting on the lake. Wait. It is still December. I know a few hundred ice fishing enthusiasts are going to be disappointed. Ah well, enjoying the warmer weather as it certainly won’t last. I hope your are having a nice warm day as well.
