It's always fun to learn something new about someone we have grown to care about. Jill and Katie, you two are THE BEST. (The only bad thing on here is the Diet Coke addiction. That stuff is ....whispering this...not good for you.)Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18269197916248742497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-65638478625007750232011-05-12T08:41:43.873-04:002011-05-12T08:41:43.873-04:00I forget how sweet it is when young children give ...I forget how sweet it is when young children give us freshly-picked bouquets of the yellow beasts!<br /><br />MaryC: Welcome!

Eventually I split the sides of a tote bag and put that under his belly so we'd have handles to help him up and down steps. <br /><br />As for dandelions, I have a love/hate relationship. We have oodles of them and I think they're lovely as sunny, yellow flowers. It's those dang sticks that crop up once the white puffs have blown away!!

You're as wonderful and sincere and sweet in person as you are on your blog :)<br /><br />The only time I went to Europe, it was a backpacking trip and we slept at hostels and on the trains. What a unique and fun experience!<br /><br />As for the dandelions, we don't have too many this year yet. Very disappointing to my little one because she loves them, thinks they're "beautiful" and it always makes me smile when she picks one for me.Cindy R.
