MEG, what gorgeous colors of iris. Sounds like summertime over your way. I understand "busy day"... I've had a few of those this week. It is good busy and then we can enjoy the holiday in honor of our Nation tomorrow.

Beautiful, Dita....the Finest thread is up! I just asked you in Freepmail!

I will get to rest of pings tomorrow...saw ya’ll talking about chocolate brownies, etc. I had just gotten back from getting a hot fudge sundae. One of those little ones from McD. for a dollar. They’re fine for a sweet tooth and dirt cheap. Sonic has a good one for two something.
