Natanya, Congratulations on the adoption!!!! Not a problem on the exchange. I would have loved to have gotten one of the Joan Sr.'s but you can't give away what you don't have. LOL!! Mid September is just fine for the exchange. I am in South Carolina so our weather will be fine for digging up the Naomi Ruth and planting the Prairie Blue Eyes. I don't know if you have seen my only other posting, but it is to request 3 different daylilies I am wanting to honor my grandchildren. One of the grandbabies is adopted and since I couldn't find a daylily named "Hailey" I decided to honor her by choosing "Chosen One". The other two I am seeking is Savannah Sunshine and Col. Garrett. I think it is wonderful that you are looking for a named daylily for your newest addition and also to honor your mother. I have to tell you that the reason I got Naomi Ruth was to honor my mother. Her name was Ruth. I have had them for years and moved all of them with me from Atlanta, Georgia to South Carolina when I moved 3 years ago. No way was I leaving them behind!!! Unfortunately my mother passed last October but every time I see blooms on this plant (and other unnamed varieties that she actually gave to me years ago) I can do nothing but SMILE at the memories of her. I have another daylily coming to me this fall named, RUTH WHITTEN. This one too will be in honor of my mother. Sorry this is so long!!!! I am just compassionate about children, family and flowers!! Take care, Martha P.S. - By the way, maybe we can arrange for your Mom to get more than a couple of fans.....................I KNOW how much adoption costs can be!!!! You owe both your parents a HUGE HUG!!!!!!!!!! It will give me great pleasure to share a part of my mother's memories with you, your mother and your new bundle of joy!!

Morning all! Fran, I put in a bit more postage than what it was for me to mail my package to you. I don't think that I'll get back what I sent because we have a lot of veggie growers here, BUT if by chanace you dont have enough postage I'd be happy to send more if you need it to get my package back to me. I'm so glad that I bought the veggie seeds, I could almost hear how excited people were when I offered them up for grabs! Thank you to anyone who sent flowers in for me, I assure you that every single seed will find a good home. Lisa

I have a Krauss deep SS -- no water spots. I think the sinks of today just don't have the same issues as formerly. So someone hating their old, spotty sink just might be not relevant to your consideration today. I really like the basket that came with my Krauss sink. It's a cylinder and works very well. In contrast with the grid which I think is kind of a pia (and also in contrast with my silgranite which has a basket that's less good). I might just take the stupid grid out. It seems like it should be good, but the grid is too big so things teeter on the bottom of the sink And it's hard to clean with the metal wires joining and making sharp edges. Just not my cup of tea, but YMMV. Sinks is a very personal thing. Another of those issues only resolvable by thinking really hard about your own personal kitchen work habits and likes/dislikes. The good news is, I don't think there's a wrong answer, really. Well ... OK, don't buy a high gauge SS sink. Don't fail to inspect your mail-ordered silgranite for cracks, etc. But the rest is very much personal preference and opinion... so ours doesn't count. BTW, if I had to do it again, I'd consider a lab sink or a restaurant sink - just one big giant oblong. Bigger the better! But that's just me... ;)
