Hi Penny, Durn!! 5 lbs. of quick cooking grits is pretty nice. We didn't get anything like that. Judy got some Godiva chocolate instead. Grits are great stuff, what 'cha gonna do with Godiva Chocolate at breakfast? Hope Jim shakes that cold pretty soon. He's had it a long time now. Judy and I got over ours. She was sick about 6 days, me only 3. Here's hoping everyone had a safe and fulfilling Christmas. We certainly did. Judy and I are heading outside in a few minutes to see if the plasma trail from the shuttle is visible. It was spectacular in July. Allen Bastrop Co.
