thank you lilbajanne for my special secret santa gifts.  Lots of information about the British Virgin Island Tottola.  AND my kidney donor is actually going there in February.  It is a stop on a cruise is she going on.  She looked over the material with great interest.  Thank you very much!!!!

And, thank you KitKatz for organzing the whole affair this year.  It is always a bunch of fun.

Happy New Year everyone.   :bandance;  :bandance;

Thanks so much Lorie for the wonderful SS box you sent me.  I loved all the sweet smelling stuff, and candles that we need when the lights go out.   The bookmark your grandmaw and husband made me was
beautiful, the adorable tree ornament went straight to the tree.  You sent so much I hope I got it all covered, if i didn't I love it too.
Hope you and yours had a great day, we did, too.

Love, Mimi

This is especially for Kitkatz and the Secret Santas for Bajanne and LilBajanne.  Our friend has returned to St. Thomas and she says our packages are there.  So in a few days we will be able to get them.  Thanks in advance!

Hey, now there's an idea, Chris.... Coal, eh???... Yep, it would be nice if Mum's person would post whether they liked what they got... When people don't keep in touch, it's a bit off-putting next time round!... Oh well, I suppose not everyone thinks like we do, Chris!.....

Absolutely.  I'm making the assumption that mine has now been picked up and enjoyed; I figure that Kitz would have said if it hadn't.

Thanks. The last I heard was that they would be able to pick them up on (or soon after) the tenth, which is why I'm unable to wait patiently ...  ;D

 :yahoo; :yahoo; our packages came over last night!!!
Paul.Karen sent me oodles of lovely gifts and thoughtfully included a shot glass for Sam!
Poppylicious sent Sam some beautiful gifts and again, she included our little Jay and Chris!  Picts are coming later.
Thanks so much!  Sorry it took so long.  I will have to rethink the addresses we give this year.
By the way, Kitkatz, we live in the British Virgin Islands, not the Bahamas!
