more about Christmas gifts...

...starting with the dryer that was delivered at 9:30 this morning! The nicest part was that they were scheduled to deliver between 10:00am and Noon, and they got here early. And, they were finished within 20 minutes! Laundry is running as we speak. (It's the little things...)

As promised, here are pictures of the wonderful gift from our friends. The side view...

...and from the front.

I wish the pictures could show the beautiful finish and the true color of the wood. It's really gorgeous! They included some cinnamon-scented candles, which make is smell like Christmas. For now, it's on the coffee table where we can enjoy it. It will also make a great centerpiece for the dining table.

On today's agenda: spinning! I haven't had time to spin anything in a month and Sirena is languishing under her cover.
