FW: RE: [Woodcarver] How Big Dog got me in trouble! (Chat)

[Phyllis Ertel]

Thanks to Larry and all the others who responded, and shared their advice
and humor.

No, I'm not REALLY in trouble, but I got a real kick out of my wife's
reactions, and thought some of you would, too. 

In the future, I'll vow to be completely honest about everything I
order(well...unless I "forget").  My wife and I both got a big kick out of
the varied responses, she says that now even she gets to participate in the
woodcarving hoopla!

So I'm out of the doghouse, and in "the chips".  Have a great Happy New
Year, everyone.
