ANYHOO, a couple of kudos are in order:
- Bravo to Jeff & Karen, now en route to the sunny Caribbean to get hitched. Woo hoo!
- Thanks to all who entered our recent Super Bowl contest, and bravo to Tracy for her winning submission. Your genuine, personally-chosen item from Yankee Candle is on its way now!
- Bravo to Holly, who suffered a flat tire on one of the coldest days of the year!
- Bravo to everyone else who deserves special recognition in this forum. You know who you are.
Our big excitement this weekend was a short road trip to an outlet mall in Lee, MA, off the pike (that's the Massachusetts Turnpike i.e. I-90 for you out-of-towners) about an hour west of South Deerfield. It's a typical mid-sized outlet mall featuring the usual retail suspects, except for the location: the middle of the Berkshires, so the place has these beautiful snow-covered wooded hills rising all around it. Very pretty setting, but kind of weird too...
You may have heard rumors that we have become vegetarians--they are true, at least for February! We are "trying" it for one month, then we'll see if we want to stick with it. We didn't eat much meat to begin with, and the reading about the food industry Heidi did in preparation for her class at Smith pretty much turned us off the stuff completely (check out Fast Food Nation--mmmmm, E. coli). I kinda miss bacon. Other than that, so far so good.

Hello again from Minnesota! I have just received my Yankee Candle Housewarmer Candle in a divine Vanilla Lime Scent. Jason, you're right, it does smell springy! At first, however, I have to admit that I thought your message said that you thought it smelled "stringy". Penmanship, my friend... penmanship!
Thanks for the prize!! I certainly wasn't expecting the hugest and largest candle from the store! And, you spent $56 to ship it over to little ole me! The BLAPP Report is certainly generous! I will compete in your contests any time!
Thanks! Your biggest fan!
Tracy
