My friend Carole said she had a few little
things she was getting rid of and thought I
might want them. So after our next
game of tennis I walked with her to her car.
She pulled these goodies out of her trunk.
It was a real treasure trunk!

A nice water pitcher on the table.

mousse, sherbet, etc.
When I got home that day, I called out to
Larry to come see what I got!
He said (a bit confused)
'I thought you went to play tennis.'
Yes! and I didn't even need to leave the
neighborhood to came home with these
little treasures. Thanks Carole!
Cheers!
