Spitzboov did not have any inside information; he just saw me recently when he & BH were here in Naples. <br />(So why didn't you get it, Grumpy 1?)<br />It took DH about a week to get a photo onto my computer (he uses a PC, this is a Mac.) I had a great time in Egypt, rode a camel, had a cruise down (up?) the Nile.<br /><br />Didn't do well on this most clever puzzle. Got the obvious answers, but missed the theme ones.<br /><br />Thank you C.C. for this most wonderful blog and today's write up.<br /><br />CheersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-28424184666967902942011-07-23T22:52:28.104-05:002011-07-23T22:52:28.104-05:00Hola Everyone, I did finish the puzzle today, but ...Hola Everyone, I did finish the puzzle today, but with Googling to find those unknowns like Grey, Gina, Azov, Paoli, and Smoot. <br /><br />I always feel good about finishing a Silkie puzzle, even if I have to look up things. It is always a learning experience. I'll have several tidbits to file away for future use.<br /><br />Loved the tomato talk. Dick, what color is your Tefft's O German tomato? We have enjoyed a German Strawberry tomato, but it is yellow with red streaks in the flesh when you cut into it. Also, Granny Cantrell sounds like a winner. My grandmother's maiden name was Cantrell, and the family was originally from Kentucky! Who knew?<br /><br />Sorry, Creature. Even though my SIL is from Egypt, I've never been there. But I loved the picture of the camel kiss! I vote for Sallie.<br /><br />CA, Funny, your comment about Fala on the right!

Hawley (R) Oregon (1st) and Herbert Hoover (R) signed the bill onto law not FDR as Ms. Bachmann claims.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23itODyctH4" rel="nofollow">Young Turks</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-28087031686331269872011-07-23T20:22:39.308-05:002011-07-23T20:22:39.308-05:00How'z about a music break?

He told me his family has grown and sold them on a farm in Washington Court House, Ohio since the 20's. They called them Smith's(his last name). Since I am now the sole caretaker I've renamed them the Pink Beavis.(yeah I'm a butthead).<br /><br />Following WH's advice, I found <a href="http://www.southernexposure.com/granny-cantrell%C3%82%E2%80%99s-german-redpink-tomato-016-g-p-1083.html" rel="nofollow">these</a>. The picture and the description are dead on. So now I might call them Granny Cantrell's Pink Beavis.<br /><br />Btw, my family has been serious tomato growers for years and we all agree these are the best we've ever had.Seldom Seenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12552098012158588852noreply@blogger.com
