… is a MoMA box, inside of which is a Bodum Assam Brew teapot for her.
Because our family Christmas in Boston has been cancelled (covid), Joanna’s
vestibule will for some time remain clogged with tons of mailed gifts.
(We have all of them sent to her, and then wrap and distribute them.)
Since MoMA’s box isn’t shy about announcing to Joanna that the
teapot she requested is indeed to be found right inside that specific
package, the whole what’s inside the wrapped gift thing is kaput.
So UD has granted her permission to open it and start brewing, pre-
Christmas.
As a tea fanatic, UD can only imagine what it’s been like, staring
at that beautiful teapot day after day and being unable to use it.
