To all newbies, Please feel free to attend even if you have nothing to swap. Swaps are a great way to meet people you only chat with online and who knows what you'll end up going home with. If interested please email me so that I can give you the address.

Bernie, Sorry you didn't make it. From what I hear there will be many more swaps coming up soon. Katkin, Do you know what color the plumeria are. Not that it matter much. The trees make excellent places for orchids. Ginny, I am sure they will sprout. They are very easy to start. Just throw them down anywhere. Hopefully I will have some orange soon.

There is a post started on the Exchanges page where everyone is posting their trade lists and planning some pre-arranged swaps. And it is already in full swing. Of course, you don't have to post a list, you can just show up. There always seems to be plenty of plants to go around in addition to the swaps that are planned in advance. Cherie

Lisa I didn't answer half your questions :-) We would welcome more garage space. One for DH car, one for my car, one for my hot rod (I have dreams) one for the riding lawn mower, and one for hubby's workshop (I already have so many home projects in my head...he will need a workshop). I know one of the houses has a five car garage and that seems to be really appealing to hubby. I don't think we NEED a five car garage but we need at least a two car garage. As for paved or none paved roads...never even thought about it. the point you make about the mud is something to think about which I will be now. I think we will cross the Tequesta house off the list, and the last house also....looks too much like a barn to me. The three main contenders are the log house, the one for $235,000 (I love the porch area) and the one with the five garages.
