Over hereRue recounts his recent move from Casa de Day to Rancho de Day. I wondered if anyone like to join me in an impromptu housewarming? It’s at Rue’s new place, but he doesn’t know it yet. (Well he will now, won’t he?)
So here ya go Rue from my family to yours a gift basket with bread so you never go hungry, sweet apple cider (instead of the standard wine, because I’ve never bought wine before and as much as I like your posts, I’m not going to start for you) so your life is always sweet, salt so there is always spice in your life and a candle so you always have light.
Oh and a basket of Homemade Cookies so your guests will have something to munch on while they visit.
Mazel Tov!
C’mon in y’all!
[sup]Boy I hope this hasn’t already been done.[/sup]
Well, nothing says home like warm, freshly baked bread. And nothing says warm, freshly baked bread like a bread machine. So, for the Special Object of my Admiration and Secret Lust, I present a Super Deluxe Bread Machine with a supply of different kinds of flour so that every day will be an adventure in warm, freshly baked yumminess!
And, of course, the requisite Pink Flamingo for the front lawn. His name is Jake. His friend’s name is Jake, too. Who’da thunk it??
Hope you and yours enjoy your new home, and I wish you good neighbors and no door-to-door salesmen!
I brought a Giant Inflate Tree[sup]TM[/sup], but it’s so giant it won’t fit through the door. I’ll just leave it here on the lawn with FCM’s Jake Flamingos, shall I?
I also brought a very girly selection of girly teas. Black and herbal, so whether you’re feeling like girly caffeine or girly relaxation, you’re all set.
Abby, you’rwe so sweet. I don’t know what to say. I almost knew what to say. It was going to be “Is there any cake?” but then you said there’s cookies which I wouldn’t turn my nose up at. So now I don’t know what to say. But you’re so sweet.
I’m not speaking to Lucy right now Puddin’. I won’t say why, but who’da thunk a Jack Russell would be a spazzy ball of nerves? Huh.
Just pile the loot in the corner everyone. Thanks.
Oooohh, nice digs, Rue! I like what you’ve done with the place so far. I brought the requisite spider plant and a jello mold. Hope you like strawberry/banana.
grandma said to always give the new home owners a broom to sweep the evil spirits away… frankly I worry more about sweeping out the rabid dust bunnies myself… So I’ll give ya a practical old broom!
But wait … that’s not all … I also have a slightly used toddler… not yet potty trained and busy throwing blocks everywhere… oh but I’m not allowed to give her away…
What else do I have here?
I’d bring cake but I know it wouldn’t live up to FairyChatMom’s super duper chocolate cake… I can do wonders with frosting though.
I know … I’ll make yummy berry salad and bring biscuits and whipped cream
Since ya already got flamingoes, or is that flamingi? I’m adding two gnomes and granny and gramps with their butts in the air for the yard. Can’t have too much yard art. I ordered a nekkid boy peeing fountain too. They should deliver it in the next 10 days.
For the back yard, which undoubtedly is over 5 acres of rolling manicured grasslands, I give you this appealing and useful Structure from Asia. May you enjoy many a tea ceremony within it’s cosmic walls.
For that icy cold winter’s evening, I give you the Sir Benjamin, located half way down the page. Room for many Dopers and other familiars, the perfect counterpoint to those dreary winter days.
Your kitchen will just be a kitchen until you fire up this delightful and whimsical Antique Blender !!!
Your days will be full, and so will your nights in this sturdy and comforting Teak Bed. Available with matching chairs, too.
Since your life will have changed so radically in ever other way in your new digs, why not branch out and explore a new career option with this incredibly engaging Olive Grove. Be your own boss ! Work the land !! Travel to exotic locales, peddling your special brand of perfection !!!
I bring a sturdy yet lovely welcome mat, complete with a durable rubber pad and superior stitching in the word, “Welcome.” And may all your visitors be welcome.
For real relaxation, kick off your shoes ‘n’ socks and stick your feet in this stainless steel (none of that plastic crap) medical grade foot jacuzzi. Aaaaah! Doesn’t that feel great? Congratulations on your new home!
