California Surprise in the mail box!!!

[bootstrap vinn]

Hello everyone, How'd you like to open your mailbox and find some gold?That's what I did this morning!!! My good California bud MountianPlayer,otherwise known to me as Playah,decided he was gonna make my Christmas alot merrier 8) He has done a little gold panning and the result of which he has now forwarded to my possesion!!! It's not a whole lot of gold but I know that it was precious to him.There's also a garnet very tiny but beautiful! It takes a real friend to know that the joy of giving a gift of a valued possesion can sometimes outweigh the joy you get from retaining that possesion.He also sent along a couple other items which are of a more personal nature but are, believe me, very nice!!!
This guy's got a big heart and I am very fortunate to have made such a good friend here on T'Net!!!
GOOD FORM I SAY!!! BOOTSTRAP
PS MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PPS The kiddies killed my batteries in my camera so I'll have to post pics later.
Here they are

Very nice story. Great friend you have there. I know what you mean about the batteries, lol... Every time I get my flash light I need a match to see if it still lights up, lol...

Merry Christmas
