Funny story about paperwhites-my DIL brought some over in a beautiful container on Christmas Day. Two days later, as our daughter & SIL were collecting all their stuff to leave for their home, my SIL said "I smell urine". As we have a cat and dog & just moved into this new house on 9 Dec., I panicked. After investigation and much talking, turns out it was the paperwhites! I had such a horrible head cold, I couldn't smell a thing but my husband threw those things out immediately. Just telling you, those things can be stinky.susie1948https://www.blogger.com/profile/15806039453987667991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008124157424133980.post-36425822873524024312015-01-04T19:14:14.615-05:002015-01-04T19:14:14.615-05:00I'm so glad nothing was damaged!
