Gifts?

The gift that Annye and Jane most want is your delightful company to share with us in our celebration. As we think of things that we need or want in our lives, they'll appear on this page, and if it would make you happy to participate in their appearance we'll be appropriately gleeful. The most important thing, though, is our treasured friends, yes, YOU, now and always.

There is no official registry, but if you decide to give us a gift that we need only one of (the single-family detached house in San Francisco, for example) you could email our webmistress, and she'll take it off the list below.

Acts of kindness and charity passed on to those in need

World peace and economic comfort
