Handicap accessible shower
My mom just had her bathtub replaced with a shower stall. She was having a hard time getting over the tub wall due to her age. Always get more than one bid, the first plumber wanted double what she paid to do this with the second plumber.

Favorite seed catalog?

Got Jungs also, but I think that is a first, so I don't know how they do in fulfilling orders. Mostly my experience with Henry Fields is ordering bare root shrubs. I have low expectations with bare root stuff, so I am usually not surprised at the sparesness of the product. It will grow.....

Is it 1965 or 2012?
I was messing around with my camera last year and tried out the black & white setting. Reminded me so much of the pictures my parents took back in the 60's when I was just a wee lass. (lol)
