They were so tame compared to the Stones who soon followed! <br />I'm going to check out some of the reads you mentioned!<br />Stick Horse Cowgirl VStickhorsecowgirlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167094045033324094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-57897248042833577262013-07-31T16:58:56.019-04:002013-07-31T16:58:56.019-04:00Do you follow the Cornflower book blog?

It reminded me of "The Egg and I", but with a more amicable marriage! About a couple who leave the city life in Chicago, to live in a log cabin in the Far North woods of MN.

Both shows were absolutely mind blowing! The show lasted 3 hours! Three hours of pure joy!!!!! How's that for a 70 year old rocker! ;-)<br />I'll be sure to check out Bob Spitz' book! <br />Thanks for the suggestion.Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16874045571790056141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-53252760134016849232013-07-26T23:16:54.872-04:002013-07-26T23:16:54.872-04:00An autobiography that you and julia could enjoy to...An autobiography that you and julia could enjoy together . . .

I'm a regular reader of your blog ...Hi Kristin,<br />I'm a regular reader of your blog and I enjoy it so much. The sheep, the dogs, the yarn and your sunflowers -- and your amazing colour sense. You inspired me to grow my own sunflowers and I just have one question. When I buy them at the market the sunflowers last a long time. When I pick mine, I put them in warm water with a little bleach right away -- with a sharp, slanting cut. Mine die by the next day --is there a secret to getting the blooms to last? Thanks, CharlotteCharlottenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-85121924273952926382013-07-26T11:05:09.661-04:002013-07-26T11:05:09.661-04:00Thanks for the suggestions.

He was born in Cuba, and when Castro came into power, his parents sent him to the US. He was only 11 or 12 years old at the time. The way he writes is marvelous---it is humorous and poignant at the same time. It is not autobiographical, but I am reading "The Book Thief" right now, and I am really liking it, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-23248319235231221752013-07-25T19:12:31.702-04:002013-07-25T19:12:31.702-04:00Love the painting...I so wanted to take a kitten l...Love the painting...I so wanted to take a kitten last summer..but I have parrots and they are out of the cage a lot and I'd have to cage them more and didn't think it was too fair to them...love kitties!!!!!<br /><br />Gracey is not my name....https://www.blogger.com/profile/08972825777648546397noreply@blogger.com
