Ahh, there's no place like home, eh? Yep, I made it to, but I'm not as organized as the others, posting on the day of arrival. By the time I unpacked and got settled, I was beat and this old gal was in bed and fast asleep by 9:15 pm. Had an excellent trip home, plane trip from Victoria to Kelowna was only 40 minutes and my drive to Grand Forks where I was able to meet up with my dh for lunch and a few snuggles was accomplished in a little over 2 hours. 3/4 of an hour from there and I was home again in Castlegar by 2:30. On inspection, all my plants inside and out, fended just fine. DH was a fine babysitter. and he installed a couple heaters in my greenhouse for me and got my waterfall to the pond operational too while I was gone. Gotta go away more often! LOL

Fortunately after 18 hours of being tucked away in my luggage, when I unpacked the 12 plants I brought back from Victoria, I had only one casualty. A Passion Flower branch had broken, but the main plant looks fine and I have the piece that broke in water to hopefully root again. All and all, not too bad.

I know I've said it before, but again, I must thank Linda and Cheryl again so much for their wonderful hospitality and for putting up with Ingrid and I and our giggling. I love you both, you're wonderful!

Ingrid, you made my trip so much fun. You are a terrific person and so much fun. I hope you never change and that we have a chance to meet again.

I am posting the probably the last shots of day 5 of the RU, and this is one of "The Three Muskateers" at 7:00 am in the morning on our way to the airport. Can you see the look of complete contentment and relief, that the last two stragglers are finally on their way!!! LOL Just kidding Linda. We had some great laughs and good times, didn't we?
