Love the list of 100 things. You never seem to amaze me with what you have to say. Can we send you tamales? God bless this Holiday Season.
Jesus is the reason for the Season!Ruthie:)
Oh, I so wish you could send me tamales, but I highly doubt it! I can't even get Amazon to send me the books I ordered on November 4th!!!! Or, the contacts that I ordered for Sammy on November 18th!!!! I think the Philippine Customs office must be having a heyday reading my books that they can see better with our contacts. (Okay, I'm just kidding... sort of. I have heard horror stories about the Customs office here, but have never had any problems with my shipments until these last 2 orders. Hopefully I will receive them both soon.)
