As many of you know, I'll be leaving Jonesboro, Ark, on Mon. May 23rd, and I'll be driving all the way thru Ark, thru Texarkana, down into Dallas, TX on I-30 to Granbury, TX. I'll be returning home on Sun May 29th or Mon May 30th. Some of you have planned get togethers with me. If you'd like to do some trading too, please look over my trade list and see what I need to bring you. I need to know in the next few days so I can dig and pot them. You know I'm hosting a garden party here at my house next week and will have guests here for 3 or 4 days. So I won't have time to dig after Tues. Here are the plants I have to trade and the plants and other items I'm looking for. Let me know if you want to work out a trade with me and I'll personally deliver it if you're on my way or near Granbury.

Okay, I understand. :) I do come south once in a while. I have a brother in Alabama. And, no, I've never had anything blooming at Christmas, much less a rose.
You go to AL?? That's not too far from me! Well, not as far as ND is! LOL Next time you come this way, we might just have to hook up. I have friends near AL in LA. I might have to pay them a visit when you're in the area.

I'll let you know when I come down that way again. :)
I'm so excited!! It looks like next week I'll be meeting several of you Texans. I'm going to bring some extra plants so we can trade. If there's something you want from my list and you haven't told me yet, please let me know. I really don't wanna dig up more than I have to. Time is tight right now, with my garden party from Fri thru Sun and then Mon, I'm heading down your way. Can't wait to meet y'all!!
