it was so delightful to wonder what people's reaction would be the next morning. We heard gossip later about how pleased and mystified people were! Then we snuck downtown about 9:30 pm (our town goes to bed at 8) and plastered them everywhere - from the side of the bank to the backdoor of the bakery to neighbor's windshields.
