Re: First evening on my own / |)onna

[Guest guest]

That's a good idea! Actually, this week I am having some leftovers from the weekend. Some of it I cooked myself, and some of it is leftovers we got from a nice birthday party this Saturday . Glad I could get some leftovers from the party, because they served the best catering food I ever tried. The company that delivered it was a fairly new business and this party was one of their first big jobs, I do hope they get more jobs, they sure deserve it!love/Reb > > > > I'm confused, Reb.
