Belle Starr (Iz) I love Willow Tree, I have the entire Nativity set from the manager to the sheep and camels and even the star lol I have a few others that I have gotten as gifts because most of them are made to celebrate a moment in life. I like giving them as gifts.

Belle Starr (Iz) Yes being able to watch a streaming video of a funeral is amazing. I got to watch my cousin who died in England in 2022 and it was such a comfort to me.

Have you ever tried pop corners?

snowy @snowy22315 (186894) • United States 18 Mar

They are a relatively new snack I really like them They taste like a cross of Bugles and rice cakes. I like the puffy quality of them. Have you discovered any tasty new snacks lately?
