Mentally worn out, Al??? I think not. I was very "up" for this little mini-RU, even after traipsing around, taking picutres at Forest Lawn with my son on this hot, muggy Western New York day. Thankfully Jan and George have air-conditioning and plenty of ice water to cool a person down.

Jan seemed happy to have Kassia there, and I think Kassia felt right at home. We talked and took pictures and looked at each other's gardens (via computer) for several hours before Kassia had to leave. It was raining pretty hard so the driving at times was slowed down. I left at the same time and lead the way for about 20 minutes until we had to go in different directions. She is probably almost halfway home by now. Kassia, did you see me stick my arm out and wave goodbye to you when you turned toward Albany? It was raining hard at that point, so you may not have noticed.

I was pleasantly surprised at how easily we fit in with each other, as if we were old friends. No one could have guessed it was a first meeting. Here's a collage of the bunch of us.
