Last night, I purchased a lovely modern menorah while volunteering at the synogogue. When I got home, I pulled out my Hannukah decorations and realized I have a lovely menorah given by dh's cousin from Jerusalem and another lovely menorah. All use candles. I decided it would be nice to start a "collection" and to display them all year.
My mom has an old menorah (brass) that belonged to her grandmother and was made in the 19th century. I called her today to ask, if she wasn't using it, if I could have it. She was quiet for a minute and then said "I polished it all up last week and I was going to give it to you as one of your Hannukah gifts".
Is that strange? I didn't know until yesterday that I wanted to do a collection and she decided to give me an antique last week.
Scary. But wonderful.

Sometimes it is downright creepy!

That is so nice - you'll both be happy!
I can't resist adding ... my DH has ESPN.

My MIL who lives 6 hours away has a knack for calling a few hours after we find out bad news. I don't know how she does it, but when we were buying a house and kept having our offers rejected I swear she called every single time. I'd rather have her have present giving ESP...

I'm not sure what you call that serendipity or synergy... but I love it when that happens.

What a wonderful gift. And we are connected in ways many people don't want believe.
