Hi all

I'm so late getting this out that it's bordering on embarrassing. Rude in any case. Both my g'mas are probably doing back flips in their graves!

I wanted to add my thanks as well to SW for opening your beautiful place to us and everyone else for the gr8 first RU my family had. You know after I dropped my plants off on the patio I went to park the truck. Well, this huge black pickup pulled into your place SW and a lady popped her head out the window and asked if we were having a yard sale.

The first thing that popped into my head, and what I told her was, no, no yard sale, but we were having a reunion. And that's exactly what it felt like! It was so nice meeting all of you and talking plants and stuff.

Turns out quiltygirl's DH knew my DH's dad back in NM. How cool is that! Thank you all also for the congratulations you gave my 15yos when you learned he had earned his HAM radio license that morning. You can now call him KJ6HOC (his call sign). He's kinda on the shy side so he was just grinning. I loved it!

And thank you all for the many plants I took home! I *finally* got them in the ground (all but the littlest ones. I'm afraid they would get mistaken for weeds so they're on the table waiting to grow up more.)

Oh, and weegy12 you are so FIRED as my official photographer! Photographers are *supposed* to make everyone look fantastic. What happened? You skip the "don't take ugly pics day" in photo school? It's like the hypocratic oath for doctors. Ya know, do no harm? For photographers isn't it do no horrible pictures? Haven't you ever heard of "photo editing"? I've included the real picture to the left. Sheesh!

Just kidding! (I hope you know that)

So when's the next RU guys? I vote for tomorrow.
