Amazon asks for comments and or feed back on these used books and I mentioned what happen. And to my amazement - the seller of the book wrote me back and was very angry at me for complaining. Although I must confess I have taken chances since then and have been spared. <br />Joannyjoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338150531816845279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-10400126823368925962009-10-22T22:17:33.019-04:002009-10-22T22:17:33.019-04:00What a lovely way to spend your special day!

My grandmother lived in an old apartment building once, after she sold her house, and the apartment was beautiful--I still, to this day, wish I could live in a building like it, but the hallway floor was just like that in the entryway. Brought back a flood of memories. I'm not really fond of that look, but the thoughts of grandma that come back are marvelous!suehttp://www.abrushwithcolor.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-39438193869602450772009-10-22T10:19:25.577-04:002009-10-22T10:19:25.577-04:00I went to the new Cowboy Stadium on my birthday (O...I went to the new Cowboy Stadium on my birthday (Oct. 19th) and then out for chocolate martinis with friends.<br /><br />Then I tried hard not to throw up because of the chocolate brownie combined with the chocolate martinis.
