We cried and thanked her. She didn't even make us pay for it. I love this shop and the lady...

As neighbors We don't sleep at night anymore cause of their disrespect for others. I grow my own medicines They are VERY effective and if 1 herb is found to be infested they ALL should be handled VERY CAREFULLY. Anyhow, my medicines come straight from the Grower to My hand or I grow them myself...BLESSINGS EVERYBODY and BE...
