I know Dayna has begun to send her personal thanks to the men and women
who have sent her gifts, but I thought everyone would enjoy hearing what
she has been able to buy with the cash part of the generous giving from
people here.  She has given me permission to pass this on.

And Dayna says this is just part of the list.  I'd say she knows how to
stretch a dollar, alright.  She is also concerned that people know that she
wants thank everyone in person.  I think it is clear from her posts that she
has much to take up her time, but she is still concerned that people might
think she is ungrateful or *lacking in manners* as she puts it.
 
So thanks to everyone from Dayna and her fur kids!
