Last question of the day for two weeks! I would take wine for a new neighbour - and help
them drink it. Autographs, I've got loads from the 70s. Famous people like Ingrid Bergman,
James Stewart, Mickey Rooney, Bette Midler, Michael Crawford, Muhammed Ali, lots more,
can't think right now!. I had conversations with lots of famous people back then. I walked
to school, it was a few miles. Longest call was to Australia. Well, I bid farewell for two weeks!

Bottle of wine Bunch of flowers Potted plant Dessert Nothing Other We moved into our house 7 years ago and hadn't met the neighbors until we took them Christmas cookies the following December. They still barely speak to us. I don't think we're going to be invited to dinner any time soon. Although we have been invited to a couple of graduation Open Houses.
