<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I really want to thank Esther and Sammy for the really neat
gifts that arrived today. I love the set of Dishtowels and Potholder with the
cute Basset on them. The Basset looks just like our first sweet girl “Missy”
who was with us for close to sixteen years. That makes them even more special.
Also, I got a really cute refrig. Magnet that says, A House isn’t a Home
without a Basset, and that is so very true, and a neat little nail file with
Bassets on it. Thank you so much for everything, and Maddie Lou sends you
another big THANK YOU for those yummy Biscotti treats. I would love to see a
picture of Sammy if you have one that you could send sometime. This was such
fun, and I look forward to staying in touch with you.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
