Well, the boys look like they're having the time of their lives with you Mona! A great story to go along with wonderful pictures and you have lovely gardens. Your daughters are just adorable!

Here are pics of the hand-off this afternoon when Shannon, Mona and I all got together in downtown Ottawa. Me on the left and Shannon on the right. The lads are in the bushes below.
Me on the left and Mona on the right.
The hand-off. Jerome2 all bubble-wrapped to protect him. Bowwinkle Mountie Moose and I don't remember the name of of the Mountie bear.
I think Mona has a few more pics that she'll add later, when she gets home, of their visit with her and I look forward to seeing Shannon's pics.

Are you using Firefox as a browser (like Dave of DG suggests)? It's got a great built-in spell checker. I really miss it when I have to use IE on DH's laptop when we are travelling.
explorer here dont like firefox
My HP printer doesn't like Firefox either. Such a shame. Best Browser out there.
New thread here. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1041685/
It was great to meet you, Ann and Mona!
I'm handing over the gnomes to Sue (drivenbonkers) in Kanata tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully they'll get out of Ontario long before the snow flies ...
Shannon
Any further word on their adventures?
Yippee..won't be alone for Thanksgiving..guess who arrived last night...I'm thrilled...last time they were here for a visit I had 5' of snow and it was Christmas...wow, any longer visiting the world and they'd be back in snow....
Will start our adventures and post photo's
I feel I owe an explanation to all and apology to weslemkoon..
I already had the lads way too long, and I wanted to send them off last Wednesday.
I realized when I got to the post office, that weslemkoon WAS next on the list, but did not have a name listed for the address. ... I dmailed Thursday a.m. asking for a name.
I'm sorry weslemkoon, I skipped you.
In the interest of getting them shipped off sooner rather than later, I sent them off to BettyPauze in Thursday's post,.
Sue
If you'd like, I could ship them off to Weslemkoon once they've spent Thanksgiving with me if you wish then we'd be back on track?????
Sue - any progress on fixing your computer so that we can see pics of their visit with you?
My fault that there wasn't a name for weslemkoon. But according to the last list (they've changed often) that I had in my computer, it should have been
Bettypauze
ceedub
weslemkoon
MarilynneS
after drivenbonkers - or had it been changed again?
Ann
It's really going to take me a looooooooong time to catch up on the *Continuing Adventures of the Gnomes* but I really want to say how much I enjoyed looking at all the wonderful pictures here (lovely people and plants).
Mona I really, really enjoyed looking at your lisianthus! Years ago, when I lived up north, I was able to purchase a wonderful selection of the doubles every year but, sad to say, they are much more difficult to find down here. I usually can find at least one double every year but not the colour selection I was spoiled with before (will have to make a point of hunting them down elsewhere or head up north just to visit that amazing greenhouse again.
I was going by the numbering hand written on the list? oops!
What's a trip without a detour, anyway? lol, that usually the norm for any trip I've taken......
Good news is the computer's back, (but the bad news is it appears that I've lost all my old photos....) and all the programs that WERE on the old computer....
I do have the chance that a talented IT genius will attempt data recovery (thank goodness for adult children and their equally brilliant friends)
The pics from the boy's visit are still on the camera, so I just need the time to get that organized, after the programs are reloaded..... sometime this long weekend ; )
Oh, Betty, keep an eye out for the bear, he might be a little near-sighted....giggle!
Sue, the printed list may have had changes that never made it to my computer; so it's likely correct for whatever reason, I no longer remember. But if they take a detour, so be it. I'm glad that your latest pics are still on the camera. Really sorry about any you've lost. Reminds us to make back-ups, I guess. I know it's time for me to do one.
backup? I can barely get my system running smoothly..... (and me, a former techie!)
siiiiiiiiigh well, hate to mini-chat and run, but I gotta get tons of work done...........
~Susan~
Leave it to me to post photo's on the incorrect thread..guess I should have started a new one...
