Grandma is the best cook ever! She’s second only to Mom, who makes your favorite foods every day.
We all know what oxymorons are, and we probably have had some good chuckles over them. You know: jumbo shrimp, job security, business ethics, cafeteria food, government assistance, and my favorite, living dead.
Getting to Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah, takes a little more time and trouble than some weekend jaunts, but the rewards are also a little bigger.

And because it’s the same Ripley’s you grew up with, this is one of those books you can get caught reading, too.
Question: Help! My Italian cypress are drying out and dying mostly from the top down. They have their own bubblers for water.
