Gosh, I think that is a terrific gift. You and your family deserve it!! I would like the have trees planted in Yosemite for my grandkids. Do you know what national park?

I think I would exchange for black if there's anything else black in your kitchen to relate to it, or the silver if you prefer it. Almost twice the price doesn't seem worth it for a color change, but if your heart is set on white maybe it is. In any case, I think your BF would understand if you thanked him for the thoughtful gift and exchanged it for a color that is more harmonious with your current kitchen.

Having watched several reveals I think people are expecting much more from the tests than they are designed for. Another thing is that especially for Europe armies of all kinds tramped all over the place. They were of all kinds of ethnic and nationalities. Some dynasties ruled over wide areas such as the Hapsburgs and or the Huns. The only thing that has surprised me on these reveals is how many pacific island DNA shows up. I would expect it in any area surrounding the Indian and Pacific Oceans but not so much in Northern Europe.

This thread has been so helpful, thanks all! It led me to look for a dollhouse for my great-niece. In a strange turn of events, though, I found two houses that *I* want … as in, to actually live in. The first house I found has a working elevator, party patio, hot tub, potting shed, and third story telescope room. Party patio with lights: Built-in potting shed … heaven: Hot tub … I’ll get different towels: Thank goodness she checked with Design Dilemma first and didn’t make the fatal decision to put a mirror over the mantel: It really works? Look at that tile! The one above will be my city home. Here’s my country home: Get away from my house, kid! BUILT-IN STABLES HELLO … This stove is nicer than mine: Anyway, thanks to this thread, I will be moving into my dream homes after Christmas. I also found this for her, but again, might keep it for myself: (They have other animals, too.)
