    My Anniversary Present

    Earlier this month, Liesel and I celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary. Her present to me was this stole, handmade by XMarks' own PiperDBH. Today I was able to wear it for the first time - we wear certain colours on certain Sundays.

    Think it would have gone well with your flak jacket?

    This was a pleasure to make, and Fr. Bill & Liesel are fun to work with. I mailed it a month early, so Liesel had to hide it so Fr. Bill wouldn't find it (even though he was the one who ordered it).

    Father Bill,

    Congratulations to you and your wife for your 45th anniversary. Too many couples today do not make it that far. And tell her that she has wonderful taste in gifts.
