Luckily, no one got a rock or hard candy in the eyes, but I do recall Mom confiscating our weapons before too much damage could be done.<br />Deb@ http://debioneille.blogspot.comdebi o'neillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326849099713939434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-83086217985278081642014-04-13T18:51:21.404-05:002014-04-13T18:51:21.404-05:00The bloom is beautiful.

Ugghh. Allergies.<br /><br />But, the buckeye business. I am with Leandra... I think of the chocolate peanut butter candy. Even though I grew up in Ohio (The Buckeye State), I never did anything so radical with the buckeyes. This story made me think of the post I used for "J" a few days ago. It was written by JJ Botta, The Disconnected Writer, and it was called Somehow The Kids Get Lucky. If you get a chance you might want to go back and read that one. I think you'll appreciate it!
