Hi All,

Gosh, what a surprise!! One of my favorite cookies is coconut macaroons, so that's what I want for my prize. But you'll have to send them to Don because I'm at 13 days and counting until I move somewhere. Actually, I don't know exactly where I'm moving to. This is a state of flux that is rather unusual. Anyway, I figured at the worst case senario I could end up being at a hotel for a week and put my stuff in storage. Not so bad having someone else make the bed, come home and use the pool or the hot tub or both and not to mention, the wake up call in the morning. Umm....thoughts to ponder.

Actually I selected the 3rd of the month because 3's are lucky and the hour just jumped out of my head. Well, while threes are lucky, if Don keeps up on this hit record of his he may not be around to see the big one. Cause I'm going to ..... before he reaches that ripe old age.

I must have good luck and bad luck on this Montana thing. Good luck in that I got a good guess, bad luck in that two quakes showed up. How's a girl to get anywhere on this kind of thing???

By the way, Don paid up handsomely. He cooked me a porterhouse steak to die for. I'm telling you, if you want to eat a good steak, the only way to get one is to have Don cook it. Its perfection. But he did buy steaks the size of Dallas so there was no way I could finish mine in one sitting, so I had some for dinner one night and lunch the next day. Both times were splendid.

Now all I need is those cookies, the melt in your mouth kind. When you send them to Don, be sure to put them in a metal box with a lock on it so he can't eat them before I get them. Maybe I shouldn't be to hard on him or he might not bring them to me. Nah, he loves to see me eat.

We did break open the first bottle of champagne the other night. He got funny and I got dizzy. I have two more in the fridge cooling now. You bet cha, there's more celebrations to come.

As I like to say, "Life is a journey, however, it's in this journey we have this wonderful experience called Life."

Graciously....Thank You
