Fortunately our friends are as nutty as we are....

and we have a blast over the goofiest stuff. That being said. Somewhere along the line bizarre, tacky presents are given. These presents are given in the spirit of fun and goofiness. They reside in the gifted person home until the NEXT EVENT comes up. Could be a holiday, birthday, or just because.These two gifts have been making the rounds. The beautiful flamingo dish was given to me by my dh's bff Bill as a goof for my birthday one year. He's SO new to the group at that time was positively horrified. And she was even more stunned when the gift was given back for his birthday candy always included. Bill was amused AND LOVED his gift. I just gave it to him again this year. bwahahaha! He was sooooo surprised.
So Bill's SO Lois, my bff, got into the spirit and gifted us this lovely footstool when we decided our living room needed decorating. We have had this lovely give for awhile, and our other pal Roy just bought a motor home. So wa-la instant HOME WARMING GIFT.

Don't you just love the gifts that keep on giving??? I can't wait til my birthday. Snort. I'll be soooo surprised.
