Yeah, I guess by Oregon standards, the trees are kinda small in Delaware. (Hey! Those big trees wouldn't FIT in a state that small!) I got sunburned there... the whole blister, peel, and repeat routine ... more times than I'd care to count. <br /><br />Hi, Al. You're right.

Lordy, we Northern Virginia girls used to lobster out up there. Now that I live in Oregon, what I noticed most about Delaware my last trip was the little shrimpy trees.

Luckily, she's a lovely woman, so no need for her to holler "Hideous hag" when entering any building. <br /><br />And Gumby the Thief -- bwa-ha-ha-ha! I'd love to see the surveillance video!Dianne K.

It was one of the 2 times in my life that I experienced that. We had a great time, clamming, crabbing, sitting around the old campfire and being eaten alive by chiggers. Those bugs not only bite but also lay eggs in your skin. It took us two weeks to recover. Ah, memories.<br /><br />Knowing me, I probably whispered in church also. Glad I was not arrested. I was probably moaning about he state of my bug infested legs and feet.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-45658033004359438512011-09-09T10:58:16.430-04:002011-09-09T10:58:16.430-04:00Hi, Delores.

I mean, does ANY man ever consider himself ugly? They're usually so much more secure about their looks than women. Even the most beautiful woman is usually insecure about her appearance. And you're right about Gumby. I would've laughed at him, too.<br /><br />Hi, Anne. I have a feeling a lot of men have flaunted market-bought fish as their own personal "catch of the day." Doesn't make it any less funny, though.<br /><br />Hi, Connie. Oh, really? I knew they called "the shore" in New Jersey, but I didn't remember that about Delaware.
