Look what Bubba sent me as a house-warming gift!!

Hi guys,

I was deeply moved and very surprised when I received this beautiful SWAROVSKI sun-burst crystal from our friend Bubba as a house-warming gift. Simply gorgeous!!! Thanks a million, Bubba!!





And the only suitable place I could find for it was on the glass piece attached to this new lamp!!

Ah, Joe probably just rummaged through one of his basement rooms marked, "Old wedding gifts..."



Just teasing, guys! Joe knows how I feel about him! What a great thing to do, Bubba.

And JJ, I love your car tag. The Great JJ. So glad your home worries are over.
