Sorry guys and gals! I talked my way into taking the trip to the "wood disneyland" with Mike today. He was such a trooper, in and ot of there in, oh...2 hours or so. On our way back, I figured, since we had time alone together, he could take me to lunch! Then, I suckered him into stopping at every fruit stand I saw, too. Just when he thought he was safe, I noticed an Asian food store. I am a sucker for a few items that ya just cannot get at safeway. My sweet husband pulled right in and didn't rush me at all. I am pretty sure, the next trip to the wood store, I will be left behind! Haha, anyway, he is busy, out in the garage. Stacking wood to take some pictures for you guys. I'm sure he will be along soon to give you a little sample. Sorry, I snagged him up for the majority of the day. You all can have him back now!!!

Consider yourself lucky. Just don't look for ebony! Trust me on that.

LOL....and that's a bad thing? Could be worse...my ex father in-law once (many many years ago) did a search for 'black bears' and it turned up nekkid black women, LOL

Edited to add: maybe he spelled 'bear' wrong???????
