Crow, too funny about crawling around with your Qtips. my step mom uses a spray bottle with a mix of alchol, water and dawn soap to spray mealy bugs. maybe that would be faster than the Qtip? I'll pray for you this morning for your dr appt. Lupus is so difficult to control. I think I may have already mentioned that Merae and I have a friend with Lupus. One day she is spunky and doing great, the next day she is bed ridden. Poor think is on huge amount of meds.

Debbie, gorgeous daughter. You will have to give her a baseball bat to beat off the boys!
Btw, you said to run hot water over the Pride of Barbados seeds before planting them in moist soil to get them to germinate? Is that correct? I was going to do some this week and couldn't find where you told me that.

All, I HAD to post a picture of my niece, Hannah, in the fish costume that my sister made for her. She was in a Creation play in her kindergarten class at Hill Country Christian School. Is she cute or what? Yep, that is me with her.
