It was great fun all opening gifts together today. PBee, I see you online now... where were you an hour ago? We missed you!!

And here's a picture of the gift I received from KathyLaz in FL. The local part are all the lovely white seashells in the bottom of the vase which she collected herself on her beach walks; and the candle is apple scented -- my favorite. Thanks, Kathy -- I know you like to read on the beach, too!
