Originally Posted By Kennesaw Tom I'm so excited. Cheese Master your reveal gift arrived yesterday. I have not opened it yet. I did open the prior red package you had sent me. I really appreciated the post card with a Baldwin 2-8-8 locomotive pulling Santa's Christmas Train. Real nice. I also got three railroad pins. And a Ornage Empire Railway Museum magnet! Oh I can't forget the train whistle, pen light ( thats going to be handy ), Christmas Stitch pin and an Orange Empire Railway Museum money purse. Thanks again. So to repeat! The reveal gift has arrived! I am anxiously waiting for reveal day.

I was so happy!!! I can't wait to open it in a few days and find out who you are! Thanks again for your awesome timing!!!

Originally Posted By tiggerdis_ OH SP YOU'RE THE BEST! Holy cow! First off thanks so much for the two ecards, they were both very nice. Actually as I was listening to Brian I noticed he says a lot of things Matt does! I'm going to show him when he gets home from work. Now for the gift! Wow, I can't believe that it's not a reveal gift - it's jam packed! I don't know if the postcard is a clue or not. It's very retro! As for all the things inside again WOW! There are stamps, pencils, 2200 - yes people 2200 stickers, some wonderful incentive charts, and scented bubbles! Those will be great for my autistic boy who needs to work on the muscles in his mouth. Blowing bubbles was something the Physical Therapist suggested! You must be a mind reader - or you're a teacher at my school! Hmmm...... Thank you doesn't seem quite enough - here's a virtual hug for you pal. ((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))) Merci beaucoup!!!!! I will not be able to be online at 12:00 on Wed, (well maybe at lunch time I'll check), but I can hardly wait to find out who you are!

I see that some LP'ers have a little bit of a guess who their bashers are, but I don't have a clue. I like it better that way...makes for a better reveal, don't you think??

Here is some information on our famous Locomotive here in Kennesaw. We also have a big big Walt Disney connection. <a href="http://www.southernmuseum.org/exhibits_greatchase.htm" target="_blank">http://www.southernmuseum.org/ exhibits_greatchase.htm</a> <a href="http://www.locomotivegeneral.com/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.locomotivegeneral.c om/index.html</a>

Add 10 hours to that, and it would be 3 am Thursday in your timezone if it's 9 am Pacific Wednesday.

I think I may have figured out who you are and I can't wait until Wednesday to find out. I'll be doing a lot of shopping and some baking this week, "see" you on Wednesday.
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Thank you Secret Pal - that has to be one of the cutest e-cards I've ever seen! I can't wait until Thursday ("my" Wednesday) to see who you are. And to go from thanking a new pal to an old one - thanks for the explanation Labuda! If there was anything I was eager enough about to get up at 3am for, this would probably be it
Originally Posted By lesmisfan OMG!!! Secret Pal, that video of the statue looking guy was incredible!!! i had to bookmark that one, and ill be sharing it with my friends!!! And the about the santa claus video, those guys had way to much time on their hands! LOL!!! Thanks again SP!!!

Which is basically the Californian conversion ... I was just getting confused with all the Pacifics and Easterns and stuff! That was probably as clear as mud too. Eh, I figure I won't get online till at least 9am our time anyway
