"Neighbors bring food with death and flowers with sickness and little things in between. Boo was our neighbor. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a pair of good-luck pennies, and our lives. But neighbors give in return. We never put back into the tree what we took out of it: we had given him nothing, and it made me sad."

kinda feelin' homesick for MS
then I remembered the ants. I'm happy with the cold and snow for another day.
Groan---we lived in San Antonio for 2 years and I sure hate those things. Ugh. Hey--did you have ant lions in Mississippi? As a kid in San Antonio I loved tricking them with a piece of grass and catching them when they would grab it.
I feel your pain with the ants. Once we were visiting a friend in TX, Carter was attacked by some fire ants and he had about 50 bites on him. I didn't know what to do about it so we did nothing and only after we got home did I learn that fire ant bites can be really bad and that I should have taken him to a Dr. He seems fine and he was about 2 when it happened, or wait maybe that explains some things about him....

Oh come on...aren't we worth a few little ant bites? You know you really miss us! hehehe However, I do agree...the ants were terrible! So just come to TN instead...the ants are so much nicer here. hehehehe We miss you guys so much!

Fire ants or black ants or what kind?
fire ants. I hope there aren't any is FL, but I bet there are. Good Luck. Those things are nasty.

Wow, I guess I've never experienced these guys. I just hate ants altogether but these sound a lot worse.
