Hope so. And I never knew that about Christmas trees. I'm a hard worker but I fear I'd be such a lousy farmer. You are a wonder.<br /><br />My husband is a Myna Bird. That man can imitiate just about any noise or speech pattern! So can his sister. She does a really hilarious Valley Girl that is a scream. It's amazing to listen to them. I'm lucky I even sound coherant. We use a lot of English terms and spellings too. I started watching English comedies and reading English books, especially history, in the 1980's. I preferred it so much it stayed with me. The proper English culture is so much superior to the new black anti-American culture.<br /><br />Stay warm my friend. ~:)Sparkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531515666554867421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-37454515038901862532014-01-08T18:09:02.733-05:002014-01-08T18:09:02.733-05:00O, these photos!!!
