I cannot image the heroine digging in the dirt with diamonds. Accomplishing more as a couple then as one.. moral of the story like a pair of elephants? or is it pair of ducks?joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338150531816845279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689448175317552618.post-15594423489213986042010-03-09T22:11:55.515+00:002010-03-09T22:11:55.515+00:00I love the trunk-ated line too.
