			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Saturday, I received three boxes in the mail.  I&#8217;m thinking Mothers Day gifts&#8211;but <em>three</em>?  I only have two kids, and one is already home from college.</p>
<p>Then, I noticed that one of the boxes had a return address I couldn&#8217;t make out even <em>if</em> I could find my reading glasses (Greek?) I plunged a knife into that box first and, to my surprise, pulled out a copy of (I quickly looked at the copyright since that was the only text in English) <em><strong>To Sin With a Stranger</strong></em> in Russian.  Cool.  I&#8217;d been told the title was a bestseller in Russian, so it was great to have few copies of my very own.</p>
<p>I moved to the second box and slid the knife through the packing tape.  Another unexpected box of books.  I plucked up a copy.  This book was in Spanish, so I could read <em>most </em>of the title, <em><strong>How to Propose to a Prince</strong></em>.  Lovely purple cover. Double cool.</p>
<p><em>Third box</em>.  There was a warning to open the box carefully, so I peeled off the tape with my inadequately short, dull fingernails.  A Mother&#8217;s Day card, from my daughter still away at school, sat atop a large basket full of Spring bulbs, just beginning to bloom. <em>Aw. </em> Goodies galore and it wasn&#8217;t quite Mother&#8217;s Day yet.</p>
<p>It was Christmas in May.</p>
