WHEW!!!!!<br />and i hope they didn't pay the landscaper much. he probably took one look and thought, "do i really want my name connected to this - hmmmn, maybe not"Turner Pack Ratshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611044946684881118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807386654523336456.post-83784851645505487422010-03-23T08:46:57.979-04:002010-03-23T08:46:57.979-04:00perhaps when our other interested parties leave co...perhaps when our other interested parties leave comments with new and thrilling coordinates they could be linked in so that dinosaurs like me with failing eye site could see what they are referring to .....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807386654523336456.post-37553237190765675222010-03-22T21:56:14.399-04:002010-03-22T21:56:14.399-04:00This house always leaves me scratching my head----...This house always leaves me scratching my head----it's like something in Alice in Wonderland AFTER they try the mushrooms.
