The little polka-dot package with the Paula Deen things and gift tags was a nice added bonus. I love it all and have been having fun showing it off to everyone. I posted a pic on my blog today and added the link to your blog. I also got a chance to go back and look at some of your more recent posts and thank you for sharing the one of the 911 Memorial in Hillard. I showed it to my husband and when he gets better we think it would make a nice day trip.

We sold out semi just before diesel fuel hit $1.00 a gallon as we knew we could not afford the payments and insurance on the truck if it hit 1,00 for diesel to fill the truck.
