Hi

I am glad you can use it. Sometimes with the lack of funds it takes a bit of

creativity to give gifts.

I hope your Thanksgiving was nice. We had ours last month and I just found

some cranberry saunce in the back of the fridge from our Thanksgiving. It seems

to have a personality of its own now. I am sure it is a new lifeform.

Cheers
