We visited one time when we were there-very interesting.<br /><br />41D Bees! I know they are good to have around but I am mad at them right now. We have a humming bird feeder outside the dining room window but, where there was only one bee a couple weeks ago there are now almost a dozen(they won't stay still for me to count). They chase all the huming birds away. <br /><br />I enjoyed the puzzle, it was easier than yesterday.<br /><br />Have a good evening!<br />MargeMargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781756196891709805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-55157349840930231352012-08-28T14:43:39.966-05:002012-08-28T14:43:39.966-05:00I know Mr. Blue from Reservoir Dogs :DI know Mr. Blue from Reservoir Dogs :DNIcknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-29089454599308702802012-08-28T14:36:27.421-05:002012-08-28T14:36:27.421-05:00Well i am 0 for 2 this week already,,, yesterday i...Well i am 0 for 2 this week already,,, yesterday i was sure i got everything right & threw out the puzzle, then when i read the Blog, i did not remember "jape", & have no idea what i put.

Finally taking a vacation. First "real" vacation in a four or five years. Heading out to the land of Melissa and Jayce. Nephew and his wife have a fairly full schedule planned for the next eight days. <br /><br />Just my luck that my back started to spasm Saturday night. Argh! Hopefully it will relax and I'll be able to do all of the touristy things. Taking my laptop just in case I'm laid up. I'm not looking forward to the 4.5 hour flight. <br /><br />Next post is (hopefully) from the hometown of the Sharks. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />TTPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-74996764564836158702012-08-28T14:17:06.171-05:002012-08-28T14:17:06.171-05:00Loved Henry Fonda playing Mister Roberts.
