Janis, we were very busy that weekend! My brother's family was in the midst of moving. We celebrated my niece's 2nd birthday at the new house, then spent a day helping to pack & paint & clean (and, most importantly, to divide daylilies!) at the old house.... I didn't even manage to see Suzi (BriarRose), and she was only minutes away!

Here's a picture of our smiling birthday girl! She got a blooming AV ('Rebel's Rosebud', as her middle name is Rose) in a matching pink dandy pot from me, and she thought it was very bea-u-tiful and special! Of course, she also really liked this red balloon that Uncle Jim blew up for her....
