I wanted to send out a heart felt apology to the people I was in the middle of a trade this fall and ask them to email me so we can complete the trade. My husband became sick this fall, so my energy was focused on him. Now that he is better, I wan't to get my obligations completed. so, to all of you that were wondering where I have been, I am back! Also, if I did not mail a trade out to you, please email me and let me know - I am so sorry that I didn't complete my end, but I will make sure it gets done now. Thanks to everyone and Happy New Year! Jodi mngardener1 (jwilken@charter.net)

Hi Jools, Sorry you couldn't make it to the swap, I still have the evergreen huckleberry that I set aside for you. My son is an adult now, living on the East Coast, but I certainly remember those days of staying up with a sick kid! I'm in Pierce County, Bonney Lake to be exact, which is not too far from Tacoma. You can come to me, or I can come to you, whichever you prefer. I'm a housewife, so I'm home all day basically. Any day except Tuesday next week works for me.

Hi flora, No, I won't be able to make the GE this spring. I'm sorry I'm going to miss you! I hope to have a spring trade at my house, but spring is coming FAST. My daughter is 4 now. While I'm pulling weeds, she's planting rocks and sticks. And who knows where bulbs will come up. She always has to plant a few herself. Teresa
