K - knitted koala! Truly, in the post one day, some years ago a knitted koala arrived to me made by our fantabulous past CALS Barbie.
He lives here perched on top of a bookshelf and some of my vinyl collection.

I’m really thinking long and hard for each of these letters this time but having a hard time thinking of an answer!

I’m also finding this category especially challenging. The cars and screen stars categories seemed much easier!

L- Landscaping tools. I was into it, and my spouse would give me tools as presents.

Also lavender honey. We visited Pelindaba Lavender farm on San Juan Island in Washington state and picked up a jar.

M - Money is always a good fall back

O - oil diffuser. I was given a lovely one and I love nice scented things

Pony toy- announced on Christmas Eve requested by my sister to Santa sending my father out to search desperately ( and successfully) for one

And what if they had gotten you a real pony...

Q- Quilt. One of my best buddies from work (before we both retired) sent me one of her exquisite quilts after hearing of my diagnosis.

Someone made me a prayer/ healing quilt. I treasure it

R- Reed making supplies, back when I was a prolific maker of bassoon reeds. If people wanted to know what they could get me as presents, I would hand them various catalogs for ordering reed cane. From there, it would take several stages and many hours to create a finished playable bassoon reed. Brightly colored threads and embroidery floss were always a favorite for wrapping the base of the reeds. Esoteric, yes, but I could spend many happy hours in my “cave” creating the sound-generating devices that make double reed instruments such as the bassoon and the oboe so unique.

The photo here is of reeds “growing” in my garden.

Esoteric- even more than a Bassoon itself. Which is already one of the fanciest wind instruments out there.

S- Star. My hubby had a star named after me back when we were dating.

S-Salsa
I used to make salsa with my garden tomatoes both mild, hot, and hot-hot-hot.

Mulligans - my older daughter won a pony in a colouring in competition as a child ☺ She was such an incredible joy for years!
M - Moreton Bay Fig was my engagement ring from Chris as they are my most favourite tree in the world. His ashes are now underneath it.

T - Tea Towel (with a koala illustration on it). My younger daughter visited last week and brought me a gorgeous tea towel with the most stunning koala drawing on it.

U- um-er. Means a gift that you open and still don’t know what it is. As in “ thank you for the lovely um-er....”
