Okay, it’s confession time. I’m directionally challenged, but I’m getting out my maps of the world. Will you be my witness and travel companion? From Georgia to Gallup, Greece to Gibraltar, I’m determined to go to my grave without taking another wrong turn.
Oh, the challenges of a superheroine …

I mean, can you imagine trying to find your way to all of the derailed trains, burning buildings, and distressed damsels in a city like Los Angeles?
Heck, with my sense of direction, Boise would be in trouble. Let’s just say that, when it comes to geography, Google is this girl’s best friend.
I didn’t realize until recently, though, that Google can give me the power to map a metropolis AND save the planet.
It’s true.
Do you want to know the trick?
Winnie Nielsen says: Mmmmm, how I love baby tender brusselsprouts!
Elizabeth says: True story. First time I tried to grow Brussels sprouts from seed a few years ago the plants grew really big. But months went by & I still didn’t see any sprouts forming?… Ok then, not knowing much about vegetable gardening naturally I thought (insert embarrassed face here) that the B. sprouts were growing underground & that I had to dig them out like potatoes? When I didn’t find any Brussels vegetables in the dirt I decided that it was a bad batch of seed & tossed all of the plants. I’ve since then learned that Br. sprouts need a fairly long growing season & that they grow on the stalk:-) A picture is worth a thousand words & yours is really good & educational to boot! Thanks for sharing.

How interesting! When we took a family vacation to Washington D.C. in 1991, there was not one water fountain to be found in that city by us. This will be nice to know & share! Thanks MaryJane.
Pretty Neat info! Until you just brought this to my attention I admit, I didnt give it much thought, but how true- you really dont see many water fountains around!
Thanks for sharing!
Hugs,
Laurie
