Two of a Kind

I have a friend named Dottie who lives in New Jersey. We have been best friends since 7th grade. We were inseperable through Jr. High and HS - then life got in the way. She got married - I went to college, I got married and moved away - we kept in touch as often as we could, but hadn't seen in other in years, when along came the miracle of the internet and we reconnected about 8 years ago. Since then we e-mail every day, and visit a couple times a year either in Maine or NJ. Anyway, we mailed our Christmas gifts to each other and both received them on the same day. I made her a shawl (she is always chilly at work) (for my Whoduknit friends - this shawl is also for Grandmama Ellison) I included an antique pin that I found at a craft fair.
In her package to me was a hand painted lighthouse (I collect lighthouses), and a pair of gold earrings. I didn't see the little box with the earrings under the tissue paper, and she didn't see my little box with the pin under my tissue paper. So...
We each sent e-mails thanking each other for the gifts - she didn't mention the pin, I didn't mention the earrings. So we each e-mailed back and asked about them - I think we probably each said OMG at the same time! and rushed to find the box, that fortunately neither of us had thrown out. So, okay, maybe you had to be there to appreciate how funny this was - but aren't old best friends just the greatest!
