Surprise Box

I worked at the auction hall today with Dad and Mom texted me about noon saying a large box had come in the mail for me. I was puzzled as to who it could be from. I wasn't expecting anything and my birthday was past so.....? Mom asked if I wanted her to open it to see if there was a note, but I told her it was a good opportunity to practice patience...the box would wait until I got home. She and Lydia agonized over it all day.
So, when I got home, I opened the box. To my surprise, there was a pair of cowboy boots, a horse tote bag, a hair clip, a picture of a horse and a girl and a card with a check for $100!!!
I read the card and discovered it was from Polly, a lady we gave our halflinger mare, Mitzie, to a year ago. Polly had been the original rescuer of Mitzie when she was practically abandoned in a pasture. She had donated  her to the Fowler Center, a camp for handicap kids. When the Fowler Center decided to sell their horses, Polly let us have Mitzie. So, after enjoying Mitzie for just under three years, we gave her back to Polly and her daughter, Clare for them to enjoy.
In the card, Polly says Mitzie is doing well and is enjoying her life with seven pasture buddies.
Thank you, Polly and Clare, for thinking of me!! I will enjoy all your gifts!
