And I understand the thrill in making something look like a million bucks, using only inexpensive materials. I used to be the queen of the Kraft paper and Twine school of wrapping. Until Schecky hit elementary school, and the wrapping paper sales began... oh well... Have a great half marathon tomorrow (does that mean you have to run 13.1 miles? I bet that last .1 is the hardest. Or the easiest, I could see it going either way.) Have a lovely stroll through those saguaros, and know that we are all cheering you on!!!!

They are dressing up my sideboard right now and I love it. I have ornaments this year! One of these days I'll join you at a race and run the last 3 miles with you. Since, clearly, I'm not running a half any day soon. GOOD GOOD LUCK! And if you cry, I won't tell. Use it all up, Donk – the gifts you sent look BEOOOTEEFUL!
