Bud and Margie are brother and sister. They are two of the three left in that family. Bud's eyes lit up when I took them over the baby sago palm, the brug Alex, and some triple daturas that I had started, and gave him a ton of japanses morning glory seeds. His back yard is full of sunflowers and raspberrys and heavenly blue mgs, hardy hibiscus, and TREES of ros. I swear I want to be like him when I grow up. He built tiny baby steps out of cement he masoned himself for his older sister at all the steps leading out of the house. Marge is widowed, and worked at the exclusive Petroleum Club on the penthouse for almost 25 years . They take care of themselves, but my daughter Karin, and her Grandma Polly( the little sister of them) take turns going over there. I am related by marriage ( divorced from him now) but we have always been friends. They inspire me to advize my children to take care of each other. ANYWAY, here they are.. LOL He makes wine from his berries, they are all over his yard.
off topic.. is storm sandy threatening anyone here?
