RE: Re:Guardian angels & car wrecks & fall

I live out in the country now so it's not as bad.
But I've always hated driving. Didn't get my license until I was 17 and
wouldn't have done it then if not pushed into it headfirst by my father.


BTG - so nice to see everything w/ new growth on it now since we had
that rain last weekend. Took some pics this morning when I got done
spraying roses and such. Still tweaking my beds, just came in for a tea
break.
