SuzyQStreps ... What a great user name for you! I Love it!


We decided to wait and go out for dinner instead of lunch ... it's raining out now so I hope it stops before dinner time. We have had some really horrible storms in the evening hours the past couple of days! If we have the same this afternoon I will beg hubby to order pizza for our anniversary dinner! LOL. That's what we did on our 25th! We had been on vacation for a week and got home that day and were both so tired so we just ordered Pizza and chilled out on our 25th! But, we've never been big party people anyway, LOL.


I just had to take a picture of this plant. I had no idea I still had an Optimara Annabelle AV still alive. I only have two AV's on the plant stands that are just hanging on. I found this one on a shelf in the Florida room with a half dead philodendron and an aloe plant. Can't believe it's even alive with the heat and humidity out there and I have no clue when it got watered last! I thought it was really kinda unusual. Some of you who have grown the Optimara Annabelle and Isabelle probably know how they like to get the tall and lanky necks? Well, look at this gal .... I'm calling her my AV Annabelle Palm Tree!
