You know, you could always send some to me if you need more storage space for pottery?<BR/><BR/>I'd be willing to help you make space, you know I'm all nice that way. ;-)Farmer*swife a/k/a Glass_Half_Fullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369013637299261668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7289593577239899244.post-67246417458444052552009-01-03T10:59:00.000-05:002009-01-03T10:59:00.000-05:00You two sure have fun!
