My favorite pasttimes are spending time with my family, hiking, golfing, gardening, art history, knitting and reading. I also have high hopes of becoming a successful novelist and seeing the world before I'm too old to enjoy it.

How did you know, Dolly? Actually mine looks pretty good considering it sits out there in the elements year round and gets a LOT of use! Is Willow Springs a town? We have a Post Office, a school and a few stores (er, I mean... gas stations) and that's about it. Don't forget the traffic jams... have you ever gotten behind a tractor on Hwy. 42? Or tried to visit the Post Office when it's time for school to let out??? Maybe I'll run for mayor one day and design a better infrastructure... LOL.

Thanks for reading it's nice to get the feedback, I appreciate it.
The idea of freezing the herbs in ice trays will be very useful to me, thanks!
