my gifts today were bread. i baked a loaf for my friend's daughter. i cut up a loaf of orange cranberry walnut bread from the "when pigs fly" bakery in york and gave some to my friend. my daughter's friend loves that bakery, so she gave her a piece for her snack at school today.

my gift today was tax information. i talked to a friend and found out what forms my son needed for his taxes this year, that are more complicated than they were last year. i also gave him all but one of the forms that he needed (i couldn't find it) and ideas of where he could go to obtain the missing one.
