If Erin was still with us Rook's avatar might be changed to "My Little Pony" again for that.
I am a bit challenged for sending local goodies at present, but I can organise a small donation to the Floating Fund.

Many apologies! I missed the need to register interest. Too much shore leave visiting grandchildren.
If it's not too late ...
... anything chocolatey, jammy, cakey would do fine.
And if it is too late - no worries!

Unfortunately I only have a couple of days more here then am away for work and on holiday for a couple of weeks, so it may take a while before I manage to get anything off to you, but I won't forget ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

My order is in. Delivery is supposed to be quick and accurate, and, since it's not happening around here, the chocolate shouldn't melt.
Although that's not all bad. The FG wanted to bring chocolate/peanut butter cups as a snack during a hurricane evacuation a few years ago -- when they melted, we drank them. Best hot chocolate ever.
So, I look forward to my Honored Host's report -- will he hafta drink the stuff?

Janine - shipment duly arrived in solid state -- packed so well you won't believe it.
And it's absolutely delicious! I shared (a little) with my wife and, I swear, there are tears of joy (but possibly tears from the chilis in the chocolate) in her eyes.
Many thanks

Oh My GOD.
For some reason my mom didn't tell me that a bigass package had arrived for me, so I didn't discover it until I wandered into the kitchen for a snack. Well, I sure got one.
Two generous boxes of chocolate bonbons. along with the sacramental bar of Green and Black's. But most precious of all, a tiny little pewter angel which I shall put on my shelf of special stuff from special people (along with the very kind note). Thank you so much, Boogie!(and cohort )
