Hostess Tip

SSS has a creative hostess gift tip. Instead of bringing customary bottle of wine, bring your hostess breakfast for the next day. Fresh orange juice, seasonal fruit, bagels and cream cheese or banana bread, homemade granola or donuts… All of the above… your hostess will be delighted.   So Suzy Says.
