Sorry to be tardy with my thanks. My gift arrived while I was away on a weeklong adventure in paradise. To delay things even more, a new Amazon delivery human left the package along with others for my neighbors at the condo office even though the office doesn’t provide package receipt service. If that weren’t enough, the email the office sent me notifying me of the delivery landed in my spam folder and languished there for several days before I finally saw it. But the good news is that I have my gift in hand and —

I LOVE IT!!!!! Love love love love love I tell you.

The note said that Santa’s 6-year-old picked out the tile for me. I say that kid deserves a great big hug because not only does it have the blues and greens I love but it reminds me of the deep blue water and marine life I saw on Maui just a few short weeks ago.

That’s one smart kid you have there, Santa, and with great taste, too! Thank you both! Mahalo!
