I got to meet Mickey and her hubby today!!!! She was here in Illinois and brought me a seeding and some seeds..We met up at Home Depot parking lot. I knew it was her as soon as I saw her car with Arizona lic. plates, I was practically jumping out of my pants. But I didn't want to be so obvious and run to her car...lol. I am so giddy, I don't know what to do with myself. I haven't seen a plumeria plant since I moved from Hawaii. I just had to post cause she is so sweet so is her hubby.
I have met so many unreal people on DG. I just love it here and hope to be able to uplift someone too. Sorry, I am lost for words, I just can't find the words to relay how I feel.

I know how you feel. So many people on DG have been so kind and generous to me. I can hardly wait until I have something someone else wants. I got a $10,000.00 scholarship, and one of the requirements is that I write a thank you letter. I asked why it was a requirement, because who wouldn't be bubbling over with gratitude for such a gift. I was told that some student rip up their award letter and refuse the scholarship if they have to thank someone for it. Wow. I haven't yet met Mickey, but I hope to at some point this summer. Congrats to you on getting your plumeria!

Hi Jackie and Loren!
We're in Iowa, on our way tommorrow to see the Devils Tower; the mountain in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, then on to a few days to Denver. I have my dear plumies with the cat sitter and am hoping that they are ok.
It was delightful to meet up with Lauren! And she gave me a plumeria lei that she had made.Husbands chated while Loren and I talked plumie.
I think we were in Arkansas last week. I couldn't find a plumie person where we were going so I didn't leave one there. I did however see a four foot plumeria in someones front yard in a pot.
It's no big deal to get to meet me. Many plumie people have been kind and very helpful. I just wish to "pass it forward" and thin out a few of my seedlings before I start some more when I get home. I was very happy to have met Loren and been able to give her one of my babies.

Clare,
I wrote to Lauren but didn't hear back from her. She's Hawaiian and loves plumeria. I'm sure she wouled have loved to have gotten a few plants.
Mickey
Thanks, Mickey. They're all gone now.
Loren had some family emergency arise recently so she's a bit preoccupied.. Think she needs a bit of time..
