Menus for the week of Sept 25

[Loretta V]

Easier thank you ' s
When you throw a bridal/baby shower, buy a pack of thank you cards
for the guest of honor. During the party, pass out the envelopes and
have everyone put their address on one. When the bride/new mom sends
the thank you ' s, they ' re all addressed!
