Bogey, I'll never forget when I thought it would be a great idea to throw my mother a "surprise" Tupperware party at our house for her birthday. I was all of 8 years old, and thought that anything that had the word party in it must be fun. I even went so far as to contact a Tupperware representative. Can you imagine my poor mother walking in on that?

From what I understand from the family scuttlebutt, the daughter has sent a number of these out, even one to an elderly aunt who lives on a very limited income. Honestly, I don't know what she was thinking. Except that she has seen from the her parents' example that if you can't afford it, you just expect that other people will pay for it.

Apple, she did include the name of the B&B and I looked it up on the web, but something else occurred to me. What if I send the money and she doesn't raise enough? What happens to the money then?
