Subject:      Wrappin' in the Westy..
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hi All,


I think I've just found a use for a Westy that I haven't seen on this list
yet (for the past 10 years)...

My wife was holed up in a couple of rooms in the house madly wrapping
Christmas gifts.....and graciously said I could have the rooms AFTER she
was done (in other words sometime after half-past never)....so rather than
wait until the wee hours of morning I took my bag of goodies....some
wrapping paper....a nice bottle of Portuguese white wine (chilled of
course).....tape...sissors...and a bunch of Buffett CDs....and headed out
to the Westy.


Loaded the stuff in....closed the curtains...popped the roof vent....lit
the propane heater....poured a glass of wine...put on the Buffett...and
VOILA!  Instant wrapping factory! Now the quality of wrapping may be
somewhat suspect as the bottle of wine dwindled...but hey the stuffs gonna
get ripped to shreds anyway in the morning, so why be a
perfectionist...wrapping paper is only camouflage!

So next year folks..looking for that holiday wrapping solitude? Head out to
your Westy and wrap away!


Happy Holidays....
