I had put a yellow cake with homemade carmel in the (cold) oven for just a few hours and you would NOT believe how many ants all of a sudden invaded the OVEN. It was like a sci-fiction movie.

Ants are definitely aggravating creatures. I never like them either.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your compliments on my smocking. I like it, but it's very time-consuming and can be repetitive for large areas. <BR/><BR/>I love your red work too. I have never done that before. I would love to one of these days, and if I do, I know whom I can consult! :)<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, happy sewing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-14454506226930948832008-07-07T14:33:00.000-05:002008-07-07T14:33:00.000-05:00Now be careful, they're probably mad too since you...Now be careful, they're probably mad too since you put half of their family members down the drain and chopped them up with the disposal! :)<BR/>I overheard this woman in WalMart say she puts Wrigley's spearmint gum on her window sills and it keeps them away. The detail I didn't hear was if she unwraps them or justs leaves them in the full pack.

I hope you enjoy the Almond Tea:) <BR/>About Lake Fort Smith: if you're familiar with the area then you know they've just reopened it after 10+ years (at least it seems that long). It's totally different and it looks beautiful! We didn't check out the camping area, but I would think it would be nice. Devil's Den State Park also is gorgeous and has some great camping, too (we've actually camped there), and it's also close by. We're from the Van Buren/Fort Smith area, but we moved away a couple of years ago. We do go back often to visit family though. I hope you enjoy your trip!<BR/>Oh--and I definitely hope you're winning the ant battle!:)Lora @ my blessed lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579408092425311320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-85803296902809969582008-07-07T09:20:00.000-05:002008-07-07T09:20:00.000-05:00Oh no!
