Thank you Sandy (at 4 Reluctant Entertainers)! When your package arrived I was actually 'entertaining' if you will. I had a girlfriend over for a day of scrapbooking, we had fancy fare - tuna salad and crackers with past-their-prime grapes that we shared, and she brought a cake she'd thrown together - one box of angelfood cake mix with a can of crushed pineapple, stir together and bake. We threw on some cool whip and a bit more pineapple and downing it seemed to wash some of the leftover tuna residue away :-)

When I asked if she'd snap a photo of my new lovely gifts, she suggested the wine and glasses, but since it was middle of the day and this isn't the deep south, 40 years ago, this was staged. Beverage of choice was actually raspberry lemonaide, which we consumed in vast amounts. An entire day of scrapbooking, which included little scrapping but much talking about life, men, cooking, ministry, friendship - great first use of my new apron. We also took out one of the dark chocolates, split it down the middle and enjoyed it too. I expect DH will consume the rest of them at sporadic intervals. I don't believe, however, he'll be going anywhere near that pink apron but it sure does look cute, hanging on the hook next to the fridge. I'm going to wear that thing out - I promise!
