Lori, lovely job on your Oregon feature. My favorite part was on Swallowtails which I've loved since my 7th grade drawing for science class.
The hazelnut is Oregon's official state nut. Oregon is the only state that has an official state nut. The hazelnut is also known as the filbert. But at the Finest we have many official nuts from numerous states!!!
Replies to yesterday's post--wish I could post individually but I've got a time crunch here at the office. Hopefully I can get back later...
ohioWfan I'm glad you listened to Billie's great suggestion to share Eric. Having a face to put on our soldiers makes this war even more personal and meaningful--we know who's fighting for us and who we're supporting. I think we are all so fortunate to have found a group of people who "get it", some from personal experience and others who are willing students. This is one of the things that makes America great! Maybe when Eric gets back you can have him visit with us and we can be "too nice" in person. :)
LadyX LOL Perfectly agreed Maggie! I wish I could sit next to you while you're reading and writing, what an experience, er...treat that would be. Hehehe.
Aquamarine OK but you'd better not let it happen again...or it's the perk walk for you! LOL.
ROFL!!! Pleeeeeeeease Brer Aqua, don't make me take the perk walk, I don't like coffee at all. *snicker snicker* I don't want to take the perp walk either so I'll try really hard not to be absent so long. :)
dixie sass Helloooo there Sassy! :)
John You're welcome :) :) LOL
ALL I've missed everybody and been thinking about ya'll lots. Have a wonderful day and a terrific weekend just in case I don't make it back.
Awwww.......thank you, Donaeus.
It's a lovely state and I find the stories about the history of the area very interesting. When I started researching Oregon I got caught up in the Diaries and Memoirs of some of the first people to travel the Oregon Trail. A fascinating glimpse into the day to day lives of some very brave and tough people.
LOL!! That is very true! We have the Finest collection of nuts anywhere, I think. :-)
