Candy shoppe business indeed... ☺☺☺<br /><br />One suggestion for the mosquitoes, which are indeed horrific this year: Bug Zapper. Have you seen them? There's a picture of my aunt after John with one in a mosaic done of our time after my mother's committal service. Anyway, we love ours and want more. They're purchased at the dollar store or Christmas Tree Shop or wherever things are sold cheap for a couple of dollars. They take double A batteries, which last a long time. One uses it like a tennis racket (sort of) to zap all those little pests. And it works! Like a charm.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
