Personally, I think it's very proximo and definately a cigarillo.

So, I wonder - is it really your rendering or just her expression that is displeasing? I think it's the latter. <br />Oh -- I, too, love booksales. You made some great purchases! Wow.

However, I keep buying more. Oh, dear ...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037549177881696434noreply@blogger.com
