I had to comment on a couple of things. The weeping willow, beautiful! Yes, they are but they suck!!! We have one it it craps all over our yard! Constantly picking up after that overgrown weed!!! Ha Ha

Also, the onion smell on your hands.. Did you know???? If you rub your hands on stainless steel (Like your sink) after handling an onion, the smell will be gone? I didn't believe it, but it does work! A little FYI!

Ohhh, by the way... Gordon rules!!

Sorry about the deleted comment, I screwed up!

Jamie said...

That was pretty good! I learned some more stuff about you!! I think I may do that when I hit 200 posts...not far away I think I am at 174 or close to that!!

Tess~ I never knew that about the stainless steel...I will be trying that one!

Have a great day Miah!!
