Morning all! Fran, I put in a bit more postage than what it was for me to mail my package to you. I don't think that I'll get back what I sent because we have a lot of veggie growers here, BUT if by chanace you dont have enough postage I'd be happy to send more if you need it to get my package back to me. I'm so glad that I bought the veggie seeds, I could almost hear how excited people were when I offered them up for grabs! Thank you to anyone who sent flowers in for me, I assure you that every single seed will find a good home. Lisa

Nance, I love Miss Ali! Saw amazing pics of her recently in Town & Country and I loved the interview with her too. She embraces aging and has a wonderful attitude! She is so natural and fresh looking, and has an interesting life, even at 70. Faron, I know you mean well, talking about ladies you are "charmed" by, but wouldn't you agree, we women HAVE to concern ourselves less with what you guys think, what you fellas find "hot" and "not," and find ways of feeling beautiful and confident independent of that? I know I can say this to you, because you're a smart, sensitive man. I trust that you know what I mean if you think about it. You have at least one daughter, and I know you don't want her to grow up basing her self-worth on what the guys in Fargo think of her (Or the guys anywhere!) Your young lady is lucky she has a dad who spends quality time with her and sends her the message that who she IS, makes her lovable and precious. Fathers are SO important in girls' development. I wonder if SB was close to her dad? I doubt it. She's too needy for male attention. In my post, I was just adding to the explanations of why SB is getting all the attention she claims to garner when I went into the blond thing. It's worth noting that anthropology tells us what is rare (& NATURAL blond hair is the most rare hair color, most parts of the globe) is usually held in high regard in a culture. I DO want to check out your Crystal Gayle info! Haven't seen her in years, and now that you mention her, I wonder what she's up to.

kamkar--The flooring we are using is by Mohawk, the color is Saddlebrook. I was a bit disappointed when making our selections for this house. I had in my mind a dark espresso floor. That would have been available if we chose an engineered floor that was a lot more expensive. So I picked the darkest of the 4 choices I was given with this floor. I am very happy with it. I think the espresso color may go out of style before we are ready to leave this home and this floor seems pretty traditional to me. Hope this helps. Bee

OMG, the deep purple in Annie's library is gorgeous and perfect. And I've always loved her tangerine powder room and the orange in her kitchen. Brave use of two tough colors which turned out perfectly. this is the children's bunk room in my house, but I want to paint the woodwork white and the walls and ceiling BM Lemon Ice, a "lighter" (weight-wise) yello My favorite room in terms of color is my living room
