We had them in the corner of our house too. I'm sorry we sold them when we moved to Hawaii. I think they would have looked great here. Darn! <br /><br />I had John Forgerty's niece and nephew in my classroom. They used to tell me about their visits to his home and his music.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-40170209589860672712016-08-29T15:40:30.481-07:002016-08-29T15:40:30.481-07:00I know, but find it's interesting the varied b...I know, but find it's interesting the varied belief systems, even contradictory, that give credence to superstitions such as this one related to peacock feathers.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-12021218281763779212016-08-28T15:41:59.822-07:002016-08-28T15:41:59.822-07:00Goodness me, there’s an awful lot of superstition ...Goodness me, there’s an awful lot of superstition around.
