Diana Gabaldon sent me this lovely gift basket of dates from the Sphinx Date Co. in Scottsdale, AZ, where she lives.
Here's the inscription on the card accompanying them:

The card reads, "Dear Karen, Happy Holidays to a great nitpicker and a very good friend! Love, Diana". Isn't that sweet of her? I'm delighted that she values our friendship as much as I do. ("Nitpicker" is a reference to the fact that I pay close attention to things like dates and character names in the books.)
The dates look yummy and I'm sure I'll enjoy them very much. <g>
Thank you, Diana!! And Merry Christmas!
