My grandmother still thinks of me as a person who can't be trusted to pick up sticks. She recently brought this up to her lawyer when they were estate planning, saying since I'm not mature to pick up sticks (since I am still apparently 8) I shouldn't get too much financial responsibility!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-64470201349266146842007-05-30T17:08:00.000-04:002007-05-30T17:08:00.000-04:00Thanks for the link to Smitten Kitchen.

We had 22 yards last year (yep, 22 yards) and it took us WEEKS.Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18380822736915028078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-89792916764078015342007-05-29T16:43:00.000-04:002007-05-29T16:43:00.000-04:00Sounds like a good weekend.

We've got 10 bags of mulch in the garage that still, 3 weeks after we bought them, haven't made it to their destination. <BR/><BR/>I had all kinds of around-the-house plans this weekend, but it was just too darn hot.
