I like the "white elephant" idea of gift giving, and the wire basket with eggs, was the best! Also, I am still smiling at the wire robe and Marg's predicament. You see, I can identify with her in that area of life.

We also had a chance to find out little known details about each of us. Who knew that one of us had visited 21 countries, another hosted a stray sea lion in their country back yard and yet another kayaked for 2 weeks in Belize. What fun it was finding out!

Now I'm going to do something a little different than I had planned for Friday evening...I will definitely make a punch bowl.
