13 of my favorite quotes!

11.) Nobody can bring you peace but yourself. Ralph Waldo Emerson

thanks for visiting my T13 - I like Oprah's quote ... just b/c it talks about duct tape. My brother once used it to stop the bleeding from his freshly cut finger before he got to the hospital - ahhhh, duct tape

I knew they might get up to 3 ft X 3 ft, but that sounds huge...I can't wait. I have three in my flower bed - yipppppeeeeeeeee!
