I even serve mine in my grandmother's cut glass bowl.<br /><br />This year I added some mango and guava to mine for a change.<br /><br />I've been sick with a terrible cold and cough. It's been three weeks now, and I am beginning to improve. Unfortunately, now my husband has it.<br /><br />I hope you'll join us for Pink Saturdays this month as we celebrate the holidays together.
