I am glad you enjoyed your white elephant, Myron! I thought the Angel was a nice touch. Actually, I couldn’t ever get her to stay on the tree (or anywhere else, for that matter) so maybe you’ll have better luck. I forgot to put in some granite samples, which are still in the back of my car. They’re really pretty, but a little large for coasters. They’d be neat to set pots of plants or flowers on, though. If anybody wants them, gimme a yell. They’re just extra weight in my backseat, at the moment. Mike (my husband) put in the hats. He used to work at CPS and presently works at Marmon Keystone. He only has about 3 quadrillion hats and I convinced him those two could be parted with. This was really a fun game. We need to do it again, like maybe a Christmas Elephant. ---

Oh, c’mon **Rue**! Tomboy has boobies in it!

A few notes: **Beware the harmonica**! I thought it would be great fun until it ripped the hair out of my mustache! Mucho pain!! I think it is _posessed_! The CD you can’t describe: I can! It’s a CD of “Shocking Asia” (I’m sure many here have seen or heard of it…). It’s interesting, in a twisted sort of way… Play this when you are in the mood to be informed about other cultures… As for Tomboy, ummm… there’s no good excuse for this. I encourage you to watch it simply because I sent it half-way across the world… but read **Rue** ’s comments above first! Good luck! And God be with you if you choose to watch Tomboy!!!😃 ---
