Thank you 🫶

I've shared a few of these unboxings in the past and they always bring me joy 😇

Chasing away the birthday blues with a care package from my grandma!

Edit: the "baked bites" technically qualify, right? 😁

It's so great! I just imagine she has a standby arsenal of goodies to send out in care packages. 😇

general BOOsician @generalmusician.bsky.social · 2h

Thank you 😊
I feel so lucky and I'm going to try to see her soon!

general BOOsician @generalmusician.bsky.social · 2h

I really am 🧡

I don't do it anymore, but I did for several years off and on! It was fun, but it ran its' course. 🤭

I'll always have the memories, I guess!

Someone: invite me to a Halloween party!

Love you, Grandma! I'll write back soon! 😁

Card inside reads:
Dear Grandson
(Card text: "Happy thoughts of you light up the Halloween night.")
Are you going to Halloween parties? Are you still fixing the cassette recorders? Will you go to DC for your dad's Marathon? Really look forward to your letters - Lots of love, Gram

A mini 3 Musketeers, a nlok, some paint by numbers, an envelope and a red-pink plastic thingy. (Contents of the care package still in the box.)

Finishing my day by opening a care package from my grandma! Anyone want to guess what kind of candy is inside?

Back of the care package, wrapping slightly torn. Blue box reads "soft & chewy"

I don't have pictures of me from 10 years ago, but there are definitely some cringe videos of me doing sports card box break livestreams out on the Internet somewhere.

Many gratuitous shots of my disembodied hands, @emceekayvee.bsky.social 👀
