Criminy! After all these years, where do you find wall space to
display all these ribbons and awards? I'm just grateful there's
only one of you, and she's in Mini soda so folks in the other 50 get
a chance now and then to pick up a ribbon<g>.

Congrats on a darned good showing

LOL! I don't especially display them. OK, I've got a shelf with some
wood pegs where I usually hang the current or previous year's stuff plus
all the big rosettes that indicate a certain class of greatness (I'm
puking, too!). :-) And I keep those there because every once in a
while I make an appearance for the Gedney folks and like to show the
folks that this ain't no ordinary housewife they're dealing with!
Believe me, there are more accomplished folks than I am, but they don't
hang out here and they're more modest. "Who tooteth not her own horn,
her horn doth not get tooted."

Thanks for the good words, Maxine.
