Also, I think we're not used to seeing "tree" as an active object in a prepositional phrase. Come to think of it, you have strung together an impressive amount of prepositional phrases, too. <br /><br />But don't worry about it. Just keep blogging. I love checking up on you guys.<br /><br />Man, I'm an incurable Grammar dork, and I can't help it. Does this construction read any better?<br /><br />Some of you may know this but if not, you’ll immediately enhance your store of worthless trivia by storing this fact: Legget is the town with the tree famous for all the pictures of cars driving through it.<br /><br />Love you guys.Tingle, M.

Never have I ever seen trees this big! We only got one or two pictures because the road was really narrow, and lacked adequate turn-offs. If you've never seen these trees, you need to put it on your bucket-list. We passed one called "grandfather tree" that they estimate to be around 1800 years old--as you can imagine, it's had plenty of time to grow to gargantuan proportions. It was neat driving through dark, shaded forests with lush fernish undergrowth that more than tripled the height of our east-coast forests. I hear that Redwoods have been known to grow over 350ft. tall!<br /><br />3) Ok, time to let my stomach do some commenting. The cafe that we patronized for dinner was delicious. The fish and chips followed by blueberry bread pudding (and ice cream) probably fetched about 3-grand (in calories, haha!!) Yes, that's like a day and a half's worth of calories at one sitting, but hey, you only live once right??<br /><br />4) The intense heartburn (which I am currently experiencing) that ensued!! Haha, well worth it!!<br /><br />MBig Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06812223288159682333noreply@blogger.com
