Her car was covered with dents, so the next day she took it to a repair shop. The shop owner saw that she was a blonde, so he decided to have some fun. He told her just to go home and blow into the tail pipe really hard, and all the dents would pop out. So, the blonde went home, got down on her hands and knees and started blowing into her car's tailpipe. Nothing happened. She blew a little harder, and still nothing happened. Her roommate, another blonde, came home and said, "What are you doing?" The first blonde told her how the repairman had instructed her to blow into the tailpipe in order to get all the dents to pop out. Her roommate rolled her eyes and said,... "HELLLLO" "You need to roll up the windows Blueberry Shortbread Bars 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes 1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder 1 egg yolk 1/2 teaspoon ice water, or more if needed 3/4 cup fresh blueberries Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place butter cubes in the freezer for 15 minutes. Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Sprinkle in Chinese five-spice powder. Cut in frozen butter using a pastry cutter until the butter pieces are about the size of peas. Mix in egg yolk and continue cutting in until thoroughly combined. Drizzle in ice water and stir to combine. The dough should just come together when pinched between your fingers. Pour about 3/4 of the crumb mixture into an ungreased 9x9- inch baking dish. Press the mixture down firmly using the back of a spoon. Spread blueberries in one layer and sprinkle with remaining crumbly dough. Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden and sides are crisp and browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely before serving. WILDWOOD IS A GARDEN 2 of 7 DANCE YOUR FEET SILLY

Three years ago, this garden was redone to honour the individuals who are Members or were Members in the Park, and have passed. To those of you who may wish to put a stone in their memory, advise the office of your interest and what you wish the stone to say. Prior to doing this you will want to check out the garden stones around the bench, which will be used, and the limit to what you want written. Cost is $38. The money is to be given to the office. I will then make arrangements to have them engraved. Jane site 224 WILDWOOD IS A GARDEN 3 of 7 DANCE YOUR FEET SILLY
