Hello Friends! Laurel - so glad to know you will be contributing to the "FLA expose" here while you are working over there on the other coast! I agree that the sea grapes are yummy....seagrape jelly is a local favorite. We have some sea grapes in our living fence, planted by the neighbors.

Karen - it sounds like we could have an "old home week" down here in Jan. or Feb. with you and Marilyn heading down. Maybe we could all coordinate a mini-RU here with a visit to Ding Darling! I sure hope you don't have a relapse returning to work, Karen! Take it slow! Bad germs up there, huh? So many of you have been really sick! Feel better!

Dahlia Dear - I'm happy to report that my prettiful red dahlias are now planted in 3 locations. Keep your fingers crossed for me that they'll thrive here.

We've been sort of preoccupied with a very unexpected addition to our family. They found us and even Molly gave me her paws up. These 2 adorable little fur balls have adopted us and they came home with us yesterday. Meet Bailey and Carli, 2 little 8-week-old Bichon sisters. We are EXHAUSTED trying to keep up with them! Right now they are wrestling on the floor......soon they will crash in their crate. Happy puppies are such good medicine!
