The Gift?

I am sure that Arizona has wondered why I have not put a picture up and blogged about her shop warming gift to me.  The reason is, I could not put it up myself.  My door needs special screws and drill bit to put it up.  That meant, Coach had to do it for me.  Unfortunately, Tru Stories had a long list of things for Coach to do.  On top of all the many things going on in their home on a daily basis.  So I have waited patiently, (not super patiently) for the gift to be mounted on the door.

Arizona and I love to buy gifts for each other.  It is not about how fancy the gift is.  It is about how perfectly it fits into the other person's life.  I know Arizona put quite a bit of thought into this gift.  I had not even thought of looking for one.  For Arizona this gift has bonus points.  She knows I will think of her many times a day when it rings.  I might not think nice thoughts during really busy times.  She won't care.  I bet she has a smile on her face right now knowing in a way, she is a part of my daily life.  We are long distance friends that work hard at staying in each other's lives.  After listening to the bell she might be inserting herself a bit too much into my day!
Ironically, the first person in my shop was deaf.  She closed the door softly and it only rang once.  Otherwise, she would have heard it.  I might need to tone it down a bit.  The next group in was someone that is a regular.  He thought it was a bit loud.  He suggested taking it down.  He also shook the door laughing when he left.  It did not ring when someone came in that shut the door softly. 
Fun stuff at Coco's.  Thanks, Arizona.  Love you!

Update:  My granddaughters and some of their cousins were just in the store.  They are madly in love with the bell.  Cannot get enough (that's enough of the bell, get out) of it.  What a surprise they had when they opened the door and the bell rang.  Fun stuff!!
