I never heard of saying Kalamazoo scare birds away from gardens! hahaha It does sounds a little like a sneeze though! Thanks for commenting both places, Pauline!
Thanks so much for visiting today, Luanne!
Thank you so much for inviting me! I’m having a blast!
Great interview. Glad to read about you.
Thanks so much, Crystal. Have a great week ahead!
I did have a great weekend and hope you did too.

Oh, thank you so much, Patti! I always wanted to be an invisible time traveler, so this is the next best thing. I would hate to be a visible time traveler though. Think of all the dangers, speaking of risks! hahaha
