Re: Grow your Dream Garden!

I am too...sorry,  just making an off-hand remark on the devaluation of the

US Dollar lately. Lira used to be Italy's currency  and it was joked about
a 
lot because it took hundreds or thousands of Lira to amount to anything.
As 
a traveler there years ago I was amused that if you bought something  and 
had less than a 100 or so Lira coming back as change, they just gave you 
some matchbooks or a few pieces of candy.

I just heard yesterday, though, that the US Dollar is now being referred
to 
in Europe as the "American Peso".  I guess our economy is not as strong as

some would suggest...
