I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year's eve. May this year be better than the last one in every way possible!
With that being said, my NY gift to myself (a new butter dish made in Vermont - because I broke my last one about 10 days ago) didn't make it here. I ordered it before Christmas, but knew it would be a while before it got here. Then on 12/30 I got notice that it had shipped and was expected to be here 12/31. Well, it went past my place to get to Londonderry, NH. Yesterday morning it said it had been loaded on a truck and was in transit. I just didn't realize it was in transit to central MA. Hope it heads back up north soon and doesn't take a country-wide tour. No, it's not perishable, or extremely important, just the more handling, the more likely it will get broken.
Routings can be mysterious. A few weeks ago, I ordered something (who recalls what?) for your dad. I kept tracking it and found that it had been delivered - to the wrong place. When I notified the merchant, they were already on it. They had noticed the mis-delivery and sent a duplicate shipment to us...arriving the following day. Had I waited one more day, I wouldn't have known anything had fallen askew.
May you enjoy your butter dish. With my butter fingers (pun intended?), I keep our butter in a plastic tray/lid - purchased from an Ace Hardware Store. A couple of years ago something had gone wrong with the blue dish that we had. I was happy to find a nearly exact replacement (only in red) and bought two. It's handy to have two. I can fill one while the other is awaiting its turn in the dishwasher.
Happy new year, Sweetheart.
