It is a good thing that Bob has not shared all his lore with you at once, as that leaves new things to discover about him!<br /><br />Aya Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830585801297506770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974406546323301344.post-1319657706928058012014-04-28T07:06:59.736-07:002014-04-28T07:06:59.736-07:00Love the picture of the dogwood blooms.

Funny, we've been married 23 years this coming June and yet, I still hear things from him that I never knew that he knew! <br />Apparently, the wood from the dogwood tree was used to make the cross on which Jesus was crucified.

The buds on mine are just starting to break...Nikkis Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04900207220789667368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974406546323301344.post-31679398669556901762014-04-27T15:32:07.612-07:002014-04-27T15:32:07.612-07:00Thanks, Julia.
