Jane Marie writes: 
I don't know where or when I first saw this, but I do know it was many years ago.  I thought it was cute and easy and sweet,  being a living thing, like love, so I finally gave one to Bruce for our last anniversary.  Just go to any store that has cactus plants and purchase one. Make a sign which says I'm Stuck on You and tape it on the flower pot for an inexpensive yet meaningful gift!  I offer a big thank you to the person who came up with the idea.

Jane Marie, I have read some of the unflattering things you let Peeper write about me and, quite

Aunt Noreen

frankly, it is not right.  Yes, I know you said if I write, you will add it to this column of yours. I think it less than seemly that I must constantly defend myself against the insults spewed directly at me from Peeper.  With each day's passing, I believe she is falling deeper and deeper into insanity.  As for the cactus comment directed at me, well, with her nasty personality, I just may begin addressing her as Prickly Peeper.  She will not like that any.  Oh, yes.  That is a fine idea.  Perhaps I might get the entire town to call her that.  My, my but vengeance tastes sweet as half a cherry pie with a triple dollop of sweet whipped cream.  It's a lovely day.

 P.S. from Jane Marie to Peeper and Aunt Noreen: 
      Ladies, although you both are behaving less than that name implies, I am beyond tempted to limit your posts to recipes and gardening if you can't be sweet.  Consider this fair warning...
