I would have loved meeting him too Florence! What a sweet man he must be. I too would have been thrilled to pieces to have him kiss my hand like that. What a gentleman!!! Deb

Because buckthorn is considered highly invasive. Most of what you can see is the crabapple, I think, tho they are pretty well mixed together. It's going to be a big challenge to get it out without messing up the crabapple too much in the process! But, I'm sure it will be better for the crab in the long run. :)

I never pictured Ann T older - but then I saw pictures of her quite a few years ago, and talking with her on the phone reveals that she is young at heart. I've always thought of Ann_T as being extremely sophisticated, which is not something I generally associate with a "homebody". And I've always found her attitude to be youthful - at least as youthful as my own, and I'm very immature for my age. I don't know where this older homebody image comes from, but then maybe I'm out of touch myself! I've met Ann Spacific, and she's always been a delight to be around. I wish I could have been on the Island with the two of you. I'm overdue a trip to Canada, and so maybe in the next year or two I'll make it back up to B.C. It would be great to be able to be there with two Ann's! Ann, here's what homebody looks like. Lars

prettttttty sink, coleen! congratulations. how wide is the larger bowl? i always wanted the single bowl so i could soak my giant roasting pan inside ...something i couldn't do with my old ss sink ...but yours looks like it may hold a roaster too. remodelfan: the scratch is on the top of one lip where they had it mounted facing front. i don't see this as a problem as carlos (fabricator guy who i LOVE) is getting the touch up kit from rohl AND we're going to mount it so the side with the scratch faces the rear. the counters will be marble with a double ogee so it may cover it anyway. i love difficult people. it affords the rest of us some pretty great deals.
