But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: 'No good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.' " (Now, THAT'S a travesty! HA!)<br /><br />Love your pictures, as always. I hope your poor dirty birds are all clean again. <br /><br />All I can say about your hubby's pictures is some of the Russian architecture is simply breath-taking. <br /><br />Have a super weekend!Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-63390372448466369032015-10-30T05:32:43.635+11:002015-10-30T05:32:43.635+11:00Kim: Thank you.
