It's Blue Monday! To participate:

1. Post about something blue on your blog. It can be pretty, ugly, funny, old, or new as long as it's blue. Leave a link to this blog on your post.

2. Place the Blue Monday button on the top of your post so that people can easily spot it. Place another Blue Monday button on the sidebar of your blog.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have a good friend who lives in Jackson, Mississippi. We've known each other for over thirty years--ever since our sons were in Optimist football when they were about eight years old. Belle Jo and her husband, Bobby, were born and raised in Mississippi, moved to Florida and then moved back to Mississippi after they retired. They are super nice people.

However, they are not perfect. For instance, not only do they not blog, they do not comment! They lurk! (I know, I know. I hear your gasps.) 

When the mail carrier brought this package from my friends, I squealed like Picket and ripped it open. The card says, "Your Friendship Is a Blessing" and "Thanks be to God for His gifts. II Corinthians 9:15. " There's a sweet message inside too, along with Belle Jo's instructions from her husband: "Bobby said to write something crabby, something blue." This was when I figured that Belle Jo and Bobby are trying to make up for all of that lurking. At this point, my Blogging Brain finally took over, and I grabbed my camera. See the sweet card?


I opened one item, but look, there's another so nicely wrapped!

Two blue crabfest glasses--one for Johnny and one for me! Can you just imagine how good the iced tea will taste in these delightful glasses?

Here's a picture so you can see the back of the glass. Now, what's special about these glasses? I was raised in Maryland, home of the blue crabs, and let me tell you, nothing tastes better! I've bragged that people who use those silly wooden hammers don't really know how to eat a Maryland Blue Crab. (It's done with hands only.) Beside that, the glasses are blue, and Belle Jo and Bobby know that I'll show them on Blue Monday.

I can hardly believe that I'm fortunate enough to have such delightful friends as Belle Jo and Bobby. And because I know that they will read this, I will shout out, "THANK YOU. Now, please leave a comment!"

Look at the sidebar for book giveaways!
