I don’t like the big city either, and would not want to live there.
Boston is most way cool to visit, though~
You would love Fanieuil (sp?) Hall.
It’s full of eateries from one end to the other!

Making Z Zoup
A sprinkle of this...a splash of that...

There are no wild deer of any kind in Australia,
and the small red deer is the only one found in Africa.

The highest point in Pennsylvania is lower
than the lowest point in Colorado.

The United States produces the world's largest crop of soybeans.
China is the second largest producer.

Artichokes are actually flower buds
and need to be treated like flowers.
They should be kept cold
and misted so they don't dehydrate.

Because its tongue is too short for its beak,
the toucan must juggle its food before swallowing it.

Yes, I know I'm running behind schedule.
Gonna post and run but will
try to get back around lunchtime to catch up.

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

Please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!
Oh wait, Ma is laid up for a spell,
so she can't do anything. hehe
