How lovely of you to remember me. I keep coming to your site, you know, I always love reading about your life and projects. Like gardening! Gardening is something I admire in other people if they do it. I don´t have the stamina yet, or let´s say the desire or consistency to reside in one place for a longer period of time, which would be required I guess. Myself I dig house-alterations ;) <BR/><BR/>Btw, I have a perhaps not so strange way of "storing" people in my brain. I connect them with themes they and I seem to share, i.e. subjects they are researching. For you its "happiness". Isn´t that neat? :)<BR/><BR/>What a theme appropriate design change of your blog!CRISTOSOVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12276461139015685966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-13221926057478290022007-05-26T04:27:00.000-04:002007-05-26T04:27:00.000-04:00what a beautiful garden!I'm inspired to go outside...what a beautiful garden!<BR/>I'm inspired to go outside and pull weeds!Zighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325808421083028026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-75892642095876507762007-05-26T02:58:00.000-04:002007-05-26T02:58:00.000-04:00OK, KJ...come on over to my place and give me a ha...OK, KJ...come on over to my place and give me a hand in the jungle.Please?
