This place just keeps getting more amazing!
After being gone for so long, a couple of very interesting packages were waiting for @papa-pepper at the PO Box. This goes to show how far steemit has been used in building real relationships and connecting strangers from around the world! You guys won't believe what was inside!
PHOTO BREAKDOWN FOR NON-VIDEO FOLKS
Though I knew that both of these packages were coming, I had no idea about exactly what would be in them. I figured that they would show up at my PO Box while I was in Wisconsin, and I was right. It was nice to have them waiting for me upon my return.
The first package was from @xtrodinarypilot. He made a post about it but he did not share what was inside. I only knew that he had stopped in at the "House of Pepper" on Decatur St. down in New Orleans. Interestingly enough, I used to live i New Orleans and have even been on Decatur, but the House of Pepper does not ring a bell (multiple potential explanations for this exist...).
I was blown away when I opened that package. The first thing that I found was a House of Pepper T-shirt. Not only was it awesome, it was also in my favorite color! BONUS!
Additionally, there were two special bottles of hot sauce inside! After a mix up with the Zip Code, this package had bounced around Arkansas a bit, but eventually it landed successfully in my PO Box. Not only did @xtrodinarypilot spend almost $40 USD just on shipping this package to me, he bought all the gifts inside!
What a guy! Thanks @xtrodinarypilot!
AND THEN ANOTHER PACKAGE?
So, not only was that amazing package from @xtrodinarypilot waiting for me when I got home, but @raybrockman had sent one too! Much like the first package, this one blew me away too!
Inside was this super-cool steemit logo to put on my "pepper-mobile!" @raybrockman reached out to me a while ago and said that he had wanted to bless me with one. Obviously, I was eager to accept such a blessing. But then....
@Raybrockman also included 25 grams of .999 Silver! Unknown to me, 5 little 5 gram Silver bars had been included as a way to invest in the future of my 5 @little-peppers!
The little hand-poured bullion bars each feature a skull and crossbones too. The @little-peppers already have some Silver for each of them as a blessing for their future, so these bars will be added to their stash! What a huge blessing and generous gift from @raybrockman.
Just in case any of you are wishing that you could get some Silver from @raybrockman, there is a way that you can try! He just got his first BTC wallet and is offering to send someone two 1 oz Silver coins. If people donate any BTC to his wallet, they will automatically be entered to win. Oh, I might have forgot... the 1 oz Silver coins will be STEEMIT COINS that will be minted shortly. Click here to see the full post from @raybrockman.
How cool is that? Thanks @raybrockman!
Also, you may want to take a look at recent posts from @sevinwilson to find out some more about the Silver coins that are going to be minted. I've already pre-ordered 20, but will need to get my hands on some more! I just might have to start giving some of those away too! What a community we have here!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

I might have to match you! How can we not be excited about that?
I now right. History in the making. Just glad to be apart of it.
Sweet! It's great to see another decal going out to the steemit world! @raybrockman sent me one too and it's already proudly affixed to my green Volvo, and it's been baking on in the sun this last week! It looks awesome and i am proud to represent.
Also, great exposure for Ray's Steemit coin giveaway -- yesterday i had a 100% chance of winning...today? The odds are dropping :)
Congrats too on your 5 lil peppers, for your 5 little Peppers! This community rocks!

Yeah, we are sharing much more than just a few typed words online, that's for sure!
I'm just an outsider looking in, but I have to admit it touched my heart that he sent the silver to your kids. There's just something a little extra special about that.
Kind of a nice testament to the community & the friendships that can be made. I like knowing people like that exist.
