Mail Call Day: Riches from Overseas & the USA!!!!!!

Wow. You guys all rock my socks off! Yesterday's Mail Call yielded some bountiful surprises from 3 fine people here at IUOMA (other mail arrived, as usual, of course, including one from one of our own--hermetically sealed, I might add, with an overabundance of packing tape--??????
