Least needed but well-meant: Vineyard songbook & CD Jesus, I believe you. Most pleasing: two coffee mugs (one huge, the other more modest but with writing in Mazatec on the outside (being a language nut, Mazatec strikes a chord - it's the infamous Mexican whistling language, a tongue so tonal that large amounts of content can be whistled from mountaintop to mountaintop); well, actually the $50 from Aunt Barbara was probably almost as pleasing to me as the mugs. Hottest to the tongue: wasabi peanuts. Most needed that I didn't get: my annual haircut (Lynne forgot to bring her clippers).
