Hi Ladies,

 I’ve just had a day shopping & spending time with mother.<o:p></o:p>

I bought some Kahlua to make truffles for Xmas and proceeded to pick up the smallest bottle then middle sized bottle, Oh why not, and bought the largest bottle. The Hoi sin sauce which has come up more than once intrigued me and you were there to help me find it because it just popped easily. I picked up Tiffanys DVD of her photos and Mum and I went to her house to watch it. I’m not the soppy type but the tears were flowing from me. The song goes. Looking back on when we first met, baby your the one you can make me whole again. I can't think who sings it yet but know it.

I could fill a book about my mother and know where you are with that one Tigger. I do my best to look after her but I'm convinced she has the whole town thinking we do nothing for her. God knows what sort of tale she spins to get their attention. and the poor me tales.

I did find the tax system in america quite shocking. No wonder you have the pay to go to hospital. The minimum tax rate here is 22.1 per cent. Obviously everyone over there will keep there own tax rate quiet from everyone else I would think if there is that much variation. I'm correct in saying 2%-80% am I?

Oooh Saki, not on my list of things to do before I die. Happy Birthday to Tim.

Our neighbour Tim, who is managing the Calder farm has been caught drunk driving. It took me an hour to realise he's going to lose his license too I suppose. Oh dear.
