A Day After Christmas Prezzie

Mom's package arrived this afternoon: a pair of elbow length evening gloves that fit me, all the pearl buttons at the wrist are intact. The fingertips were a little grubby and there was a very small rust stain near one of the button shanks, so I tossed them in cold water with some Shout dissolved in it and let them soak for an hour - they 're drip-drying on the shower door and they look pretty good.

Go Mom! These are MUCH nicer than the cheesy satin-y stretch gloves I already own.

By all reports, the treasure chests were a big hit. Brian was too busy being a wizard to come to the phone on Christmas, but Nicky actually talked to me and thanked me for the treasure. Mom says the compass key chains were especially prized.
