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.
