Hi Neighbors! We FINALLY sold our house in Maine (whew!) and need to get a few things notarized. We would normally have that done at our bank, but they say they'll only do bank business. Anyone in Highland Park? Thanks! Suzanne _________________________________________________________________ Want to do more with Windows Live?

[Highland Park] free rose bushes
by DenshawSoulliere＠comcast.net 26 Sep '08

Hello Neighbors, I have about 8 rose bushes free to whomever wants to dig them up and then fill the holes with topsoil. They are ranges of pink and white - single bloom and "traditional" - I guess that's floribundia. They are mature but badly situated in the yard. So, bring a bag of soil and dig away. Joan Soulliere
