You are such a gracious, welcoming person and I appreciate that more than you know. So ty!<br /><br />And second, thanks for the idea on what to get my Mother for Mother's day (May 13th for those who read this and were wondering when it was, hee hee). You posted, "gift basket" Bingo! The web is full of different kinds of baskets so I know I will find one just for her. Brilliant idea!<br /><br />"Fiestaware ~ always popular" - I know! I really like the warm colors. One of each, please.<br /><br />If I could, I'd take my mother to one of these auctions because I know she'd love it. Of course, I'd have to spoil her with something she might fancy. I had to laugh at your people watching comment. My mother taught me that when I was young and I taught my daughter. Such fun! I hope you had a spectacular time!<br /><br />Did you know you can log-in through Google and use your Blogger account on my word press blog for comments?
