Thank you, Cheri, Diane, and Kim! Funny thing. I was given a pair of those grilling gloves recently. It was a “white elephant” sort of deal. They had them but did not want them. I had just helped them move into a new apartment and the gloves were a “Thank You” gift, whether I wanted them or not. I will let you know how they perform when I use them. They weigh a ton!?!?! Meanwhile, thanks again, have a great day, safe travels, and safe stays! 🙂
Watermelon carvings. People with way too much time on their hands. Cute but yeah not for me.
