Also Happy Holidays ==================================== The purge to downsize the collection has continued with the sale of the rest of the wooden tikis that Dan was willing to let go. One of the tikis was more special than we had known until we sold it. It had a tiki of one style on the front and another style on the back. We had bought it and put it over the fire place never to be moved again until now. This tiki has shark teeth. A fellow was walking on a beach in Hawaii and came across a dead shark. He took some teeth home and carved this tiki just to hold the teeth. Seven in a row. Two we fit into a box with peanuts. This box will go into another box with more peanuts. We cut up some huge Uline boxes that we had and I rolled tikis in this long piece of cardboard. Dan taped it to hold. He cut off one end and then cut it down so we could fold and tape the end shut. Then we did the same thing to the other end. We had enough cardboard to do this for each tiki. These are all the inner boxes. Then Dan went to the box store and got two boxes to put them into with more peanuts for shipping. One by one until they were all sealed. At the post office a lady collapsed and was going in and out of consciousness. She tried to get up and leave but collapsed again. Both times customers caught her. At that point I decided that no one was telling her what to do so I took over. One girl called 911 while I kept her calm on the floor. She was sweating and her eyes rolled back in her head. I used her mail to fan her. As she cooled off she wanted to leave. I'm tough and told her to stay put until she could be evaluated. A hand on her shoulder worked. She cooled down. The fire department arrived and took over. I got back in line with Dan. All that and he hadn't yet been to the counter to send off these boxes. The best part of this story is that people catching her prevented a head injury. I was able to relay that to the firemen. They had her sitting up and talking when we left. Looked like good news. Happy Holidays, Wendy
