I just decided to start a new thread since the other one is kinda full. I got my White Elephant from Gravity last week. Sorry it’s been awhile but it’s been kinda hard to post but any way I got: Some Vermont Maps, which is cool I can always use new maps. Some Vermont Soap, I hope she’s not trying to say anything. 🙂 Some Coffee, but I don’t drink coffee. Some beads on a string, don’t know if they are from christmas or from New Orleans. Some stuff for cats, I remember cat nip bubbles and a sticker saying there are pets in the house. I don’t have a cat right now due to divorce, but when I buy a place I plan on getting a couple so I hope they enjoy it. Also got some pens and other things to decorate paper with. The absolute best though is I got a bunch of music tapes. I have a tape player on my motorcycle and I got some killer stuff. The best has to be the two Def Leppard tapes. I can tell you now Gravity that the Def Leppard tapes will see most of the country over the next couple of years, you could not have sent anything better, I’m just glad I did not buy those on my last trip, maybe I knew you were sending them. 🙂 I still haven’t gotten mine out yet, but I have it almost packed. It should go out next week, I think I might stop by South of the Boarder this weekend and get some intersting stuff. 😃 ---

_happy_ I’m so glad that you like them! I have almost all of the music I sent you on CD, so I’m happy to share them with you. -I don’t drink coffee, either, which is why you got it. I’m glad that you like it! ---
