Summer has well and truly deserted us after the first. Thank goodness the sun stuck around long enough to give us a nice sunny day for the wedding!

I hope you come to share your adventures of making that puff pastry, i've always relied on the shop made variety, sounds complicated!

I think they are worried I have a gloss problem!<br />And what's that ladies problem?

That and I think in part it's still the leftover racism of the white flight days when everyone left Detroit for the 'burbs alongside the increasing Arabic and Lebanese American demographics of cities like Dearborn - some seem to still use race and nationality for all the ills of the world yet along within Detroit itself. <br /><br />For a nation built from immigrants, some American's have a weird attitude to it at times!

In all honesty, I don't get it...the only reason I can think of is because of the auto industry...foreign cars = detrimental to business (and even that's a stretch). People are weird!!!! <br />PS This rain is driving me bonkers. It's like Dublin, but all day instead of just for a few hours! <br />~ Samantha<br />samsamcherie.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06392458590320351019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096314476893239291.post-66521332809170322652014-08-04T20:34:01.354-04:002014-08-04T20:34:01.354-04:00I think we spent just about every evening at home ...I think we spent just about every evening at home depot when we first moved into our house!
