Wow that's really interesting. Did it smell nice? This holiday would probably kill your sister (KB) with her allergy to citrus. Hehe.

i ate a really tasty orange today actually. i think i am rather fond of St. Martin- i'm just not really sure how oranges are connected to him? I think Lena just found this craft in the newspaper though
