    Can there be a list of substitute drinks that people could choose from as a fall back if they get into a spot?
    I just bought a couple bottles of the Sutterhome FRE brut champagne. Has anyone tried it? I thought it would be nice to be able to really pop a bottle when there is something to celebrate. I read on another board that it was actually quite tasty.

    Veggiegirl I think I will make the garden, too. I have been eating a lot of salads with basil and want to do cilantro etc. So a garden would be fun. Do the chipmunks and squirrels bother the herbs, does anyone know? They are terrible here with the tomatoes when I did the tomatoes in buckets one year.

    @salleewins Herb gardens are fun and mostly low maintenance. I have never had the squirrels bother my herbs except for when new plants go into the ground. They love fresh dirt and will dig next to them, so keep an eye on that. My plants are well established, so they pay no attention to them. The squirrels in my area love to try to destroy my veggie garden though and they love tomatoes the most! I have created a cage to go around my tomato plants and covered it in bird netting. This is the only thing they can't seem to get through and boy do they try! The squirrels around here can be pretty destructive, I can't even sit pumpkins on my porch in the fall because they eat on them. The only veggie I've grown so far that they don't destroy are peppers.

    A little about my dog, Belle. We rescued her at 7 years old. She was an abandoned chihuahua with a bad heart. She was very sweet but no one wanted to adopt her as she needed daily heart medication. My husband and I chose her anyway and I am happy we did. She had a nice middle and old age as a pampered and loved member of our family.

    @Jent304 I'm so very sorry for your loss! :heartbreak: What a wonderful thing you did to adopt Belle and give her a loving home in her later years. It takes a special person to do that. I don't blame you one bit for having some wine. Big hugs to you!

    I'm very excited for this! Just gives me that little bit of mojo and I like the competition (even tho it's not its motivation to act like it is) Lorraine,that "death box" experience would scare me to death! I HATE elevators as it is, wishes for a happy AF day for all <3
