A couple of demis - 1/18/2008 11:46:15 AM    annie44 Posts: 1076 Joined: 10/27/2005 Status: offline I like photographing my bottles after we have had a little snow (which isn't often) because it is bright outside, but no glare.    Thought I'd post a couple I took today...  what color do you think this one is?

RE: A couple of demis - 1/21/2008 8:08:54 PM    annie44 Posts: 1076 Joined: 10/27/2005 Status: offline $75 sounds like a pretty good price for a citron demi.  I would have found some way to rationalize spending the money! (in reply to tigue710) Post #: 13

I think I'm going to go see if it is still there....! _____________________________ When I was just a little young boy, Papa said son, you'll never get far, Tell you the reason, if you wanna know, Cause child of mine, there isn't really very far to go.
