When I was a kid Reuben had some kind of old Lincoln? car. It was huge and had motorized blinds in the back window and a lot of other cool gadgets. It was parked in the back corner of his stores parking lot. I asked him how much he would sell it for,he said,"Would 50.00 be too much?" I said,"No way! I'll be back as soon as I can." and ran away from the store and mowed some more yards to finish getting the money. I went back a couple of days later with the cash and told him I was ready to buy the old car. He said,"Oh my,______ I'm afraid I can't do that,ole ______ said I need to ask at least 300.00 for it. If you can get that for me you can have it." That's the day I learned to hate.

Say "thank you" Barbara and Ruben
I would have thought a liberal weenie's flower of choice was a pansy.

Pusyy Willows make me thorny!
Lovely! My favorite blossom color.
Aren't Barbara and Reuben dead? If so, I don't think they'll be thanking anyone.
