But nobody ever left us with a turtle.<br /><br />Hey, that reminds me, do you know what you get when you cross a turtle with a porcupine? A slow poke, that's what.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281288495129054688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-29818369094552720002015-05-17T10:42:08.229-05:002015-05-17T10:42:08.229-05:00They could decide to look for greener pastures.
