I wasn’t sure I had the right item for this year, but exploring the house I found it. I may enclose other goodies, but only the one item has to be displayed all year! ---

My wife is horrified, and is now casting an eye about our junk looking for stuff to get rid of. Whomever my elephantee is, expect a box of multiple items. It’s more fun that way anyway. **fisha** , were you my elephanter last year? My wife is actually going to give the pink purse to her sister when she comes to visit next week. ---

If he aint in the list… He didn’t say he was in, just pointed to earlier threads. Maybe he’s scared of what he might get. If anyone knew what I was going to send, they may have second thoughts about signing up for a lottery to ‘win’ it. ---
