Back then Harry showed me the Stove Works which was for

Wouldn’t you know it. I plan my garage sale and an hour and a half into it the rain pours down. I think I made about 100.00 and most of that was from my friend Callahan buying backs gifts she gave me. No just kidding. Well there was the Marilyn Monroe handbag that she gave me for my birthday one year.

My brother, Charlie Knight, is the youngest of seven children – but, the worst of it for him, his older siblings are all girls! That may explain why he is still single at 44. But really, it is because he is an artist maniac.

There is a fantastic nursery, Grower’s Outlet out in Loganville, Georgia that has the best prices around and a really nice selection of plants. They have things that you’re not going to find at your local Home Depot and if you did they would be double in price.
