I am pleased to announce that Dazee and MOD were the winners of this very special edition of Amazing Race.  Here are our totals.

I would like to mention here that MOD made most of the flower arrangements that we left at the graves.  Only about 7 of them were fresh flowers.  She made numerous trips to the thrift stores for containers and artificial flowers.
