Very early I read about your loss of your precious Stuart and although I was afraid it would make you a bit sad, I knew I could not omit him from your gift because he is still very much a part of you.

I think you knew early on that I was your SB because I didn't do very good at the hints. I hoped that having Robin mail some of the cards from another state helped mix it up a bit. Imagine my surprise when I read about the cookies she baked and sent you! LOL...I really don't bake...those were from her!

Plus, the tv show I thought about was "Murder She Wrote" with the character Jessica Fletcher. (I had no idea there had been a show named Fletcher!) Told you my brain was wired weird. You did get the clue that the name Fletcher reminded Taffy of Fetch.

However, and I hope you're in a laughing mood because those placemats you think I sent? They were the part I stuffed the box with so that stuff wouldn't shift around. Hmmm...Christina...hmmm...those are reusable (NEW) pee pads...LOL That's what I was hoping wouldn't offend you!

I'm so glad you liked the stuff. I can't tell you how much fun I had getting it together for you. It really got fun when I mailed a bunch of stuff to Robin in KY for her to help me disguise my botched clues! (Thanks, Robin!) Plus, Admin helped, too. They were very sweet to pass along things I needed you to know.

I hope you enjoy it all. I couldn't stand the thought of both boys not getting stuff so that's why they both got their own bags! You made it easy, you know, since they don't do clothes and bows because I would have had trouble picking those out.

I have loved your photo of both boys looking up ever since you posted it some time ago. When I made the connection that those were your two Yorkies, I felt like I had struck gold. I absolutely loved having that printed on stuff because I love the photo so much!

Enjoy your weekend and think of us when you sip a relaxing cup of coffee...LOL. I learned alot while doing this because I had never ever heard of these kind of coffees!

Hahahahah placemats/peepads...................bout fell off my chair again tonight.......What a wonderful ge buddy you are. Such thoughtfulness.
