It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
OK, thanks. A glance at wikipedia seemed to indicated that they only grow much further south, but I think I'll go with it being the plant, and that it was a bit of a joke/pun/whatever to put a plant with a name like that at the end of a list of church stuff. There are a few other times in these books where she does stuff like that with plant names.

There was apparently considerable houseplant rivalry in that era. I read some other book in which women were boasting about having the best ferns.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
There's the occasional bits in the Anne books too about going to the Exposition and winning prizes for butter or crocheting.

The status is NOT quo.
Scrappy, I'm so sorry. And Sean, sorry you can't go home.
