Paul, How about a bottle of wine if that is appropriate. <grin> lol.

That's what someone brought me for a hostest gift for our Christmas party.
I put it in the cupboard because we already had some out, and opened and

We'll save that one for another special occasion. <grin> lol.

Lovings!
Pat who  hopes she's not in trouble for mentioning Wine
