Secret Santa- WWII Aviation GB

07:15, there I was, mobile telephone waking me up (Fridays I can leave later, and still get a space), when the doorbell rang.  Decided to ignore it, and snoozed.  What a surprise when I left to see it a box of a model (as the customs note said) from America.  Cool!  Anyway, after missing the Nationals last week (and so getting the gift), managed to get it today. Something usual, but unusual...!  Will post Monday or so.   This is fun!

Great! No peek- no tell until Christmas!

Did you have to promise never to use it for models?

LOL, actually my wife "informed" me last night that the camera is my Christmas present.    Fine by me though, I've been wanting a new one for quite some time and man, is this camera sweet!!!

LOL  I was smart enough to approach my wife about the camera last night and got her blessing.  I ain't no fool

Got my SS gift over the weekend.  I arrived home saturday after work and my girl friend was giving me that look that I had done something wrong.  She asked my if I had order anything online.  I said "no".  Then she pulls out this box.  Before she could say anything else, I explained that this was my SS gift.  I was off the hook.  Whoa, that was close.  Good thing she did not figure out that I had picked up a model for my self, when I picked up my recipeants gift earlier that week.  That well be our little secret.

What they don't know, won't kill us!  Me, I've got Hobby Lobby's 40%off coupon, and plan on going shopping this weekend.  I am sure I will be getting something for me as well.........  Besides, we all know that it is almost 100% impossible to NOT get something for ourselves while shopping for someone else....  Just look at what your wife/girlfiend brings home this Christmas season, and see how many items are for her.
