'Twas my pleasure Donna! Like you said it's better to give than to receive.
I ordered mine Monday! I can't wait to get them...I am giving one set to my friend in Europe...he loves these falcons too...I wish I could see his face when he opens them at Christmas
I received mine in the mail. They are magnificent. Lou, your amazing! To MAK, thank you so much for sending them. I love them all and my QTP2T is in there. Sweet!!! I ordered a few sets in the past and gave them all away, leaving me with none, (was well worth it though, as giving is better than receiving)...NOT in this case though... ....thanx MAK!!!
