My new buddies at Botkins Elementary, in Botkins, Ohio are such Hattie Big Sky fans that they sent me a whole passel o’presents.
I wonder what’s inside?

I love presents. I love giving them. And I really, really like getting them.
A buckeye necklace

V8 and Wrigley’s gum

tomato soup and Peppermint Hatties!

A swig of sarsparilla hits the spot!

And my favorite present of all: some letters, which Winston helped me read.

Thanks, Botkins’ buddies!
