AuntB, Bonnie, you're back! Yippee!! Man, I hate to hear Lauren went into lockdown immediately.

I have an adopted son, well, he grew up at my house swimming and mowing my yard (and two rose bushes once) who just finished his third tour in Iraq. It just kills me when he leaves but at least now we can stay better in touch than his first tour since we can e-mail now. Pray for peace in this ole world.

I have been on the puter very little. My eye swelled shut on me, a chalazion (fancy stye) and now they are talking about surgery. I have no idea when I am going to get that scheduled. But, LOL, here's Keith with his arm in a cast and me with my eye swollen shut. I told everybody we had a fight and I won!! The cast came off Tuesday so now we're doing some strong rehab.

Louise, I have the magilla and it did nothing for me. It is about 8 inches tall and just does not like it here. And, I put it in one of my best spots in the yard. I am already planning on potting that one up and taking it to TX to find it a new home. Also, winter sowing, oh yeah, going to try that. Thanks for the hint.

I have caladiums all over this year. I got a good deal on 10 pounds at the DG Marketplace and planted them anyplace I could think off and gave them out to every person I know who had flowers, and then some who didn't! Should have put more thought into how many bulbs 10 pounds was.

Moodene, your brugs are beautiful. Is it usual to get that many flushes in one year? LOL, remember I still have not seen one bloom yet.

Got to go soak my eye. don't you know I'm hot now??

Audrey, you think you have a "Y"? I hope so!!

Clemen, we'd know you by any name, sweetie! I bought a white double brug called Puppy Love and it reminded me of you and Capo. If you don't have one and I ever get good with cuttings (Grrr) I will send you one later. :)
