Can I send you my address? I would love some fresh oranges!! I'm only kidding. I just wanted to comment on the picture you sent in. I would give anything to be able to grow fruit the way you in the southern states can. Here in Northern Canada, I live in oil country, so the views out my windows are of huge black oil burns.

What about a " Robin hood, Maid Marion " style dress up party? My daughter some years ago wanted to have a princess themed party. I have always been on a tight budget, so instead of purchasing all the princess party decorations, we had a dress up party complete with " royalty " food, which was anything she wanted, with inventive new names attached, such as Rice krispie squares became Princess Bites popcorn balls, flattened between sheets of wax paper, became prince pies. All the children came dressed up in second hand prom dresses or suits and we made the crowns with the children and my husband, the king, was to judge the best crown.

Hello, I have all leather furniture, three dogs, a cat, a bunny and 7 grandchildren, so needless to say, I wash my furniture once a week.

I fill my cleaning bucket with dish washing soap and hot water,and wipe the furniture. You might want to try this tip with a splash of clorox in the water to bring your purse back to sparkling! ...
