Chrismas Concert

Five Things I Am Thankful For
As it was Thanksgiving over the pond this week, I thought I would list just a few of the things for which I am thankful. Marks and Spencer food ordering - their sandwich platters made hosting today much easier! Costco Red Velvet Cake - so good! Cif cream cleaner- that stuff gets up everything!
