Lizalily - There is a special place in Heaven waiting for you, I know, just as I know my Mom and Dad got their special place in Heaven. I am one of the lucky ones... I was adopted as an infant by two of the most wonderful people in the world, and grew up with two adopted brothers and an adopted sister. My younger brother was adopted from Catholic Charities in Quebec, Canada, and my younger sister began as a foster child, and was given up by her mother... we promptly added her to our family! We had a houseful of foster children while growing up, and it was fabulous to share our good fortune and love and our lives with these less fortunate children! My childhood was more than ideal, and I thank God every day for the family I have. When I think of all that my parents sacrificed for us, and all they did for us... well, all I can say is that I am thankful my life turned out the way it did. I couldn't have asked for more wonderful parents or a more special family! And when I married my current husband, it was a package deal... three young children whom I call "my own". I never had my own children, was unable to... but I always tell my step-children that they were created IN my heart, not under it. Raising them was very tough at times, but so worth the effort! The rewards don't always come right away, but rather come later in life when children grow up and understand what life's all about... and just to hear them say "I love you, Jodi" is all the reward I'll ever need! And now, I'm a Grandma... Blessed with three awesome grandchildren! My eldest son has two, a boy and a girl, and my daughter has a son. My middle son is currently in college, pulling two majors to get the needed funding, and doing extremely well! Imagine the workload studying both Pharmacology and Law! Yes, my life has been grand, made so by caring people who opened their hearts and home to make a family. I am so Blessed... I give you a lot of credit, Lizalily... you and your husband are very special people... it takes a lot to open your heart and home to children that need adoption, and even more so to adopt children with special needs. It is because of people like you that people like me have wonderful lives overflowing with love and happiness! God Bless you and your family! I don't know what more to say... except that my life has been enriched even more in "meeting" all of you... I've always said that gardeners are very special people, nurturing and caring, bringing forth life from the earth and making it a better, more beautiful place! Cindee and Lizalily, and all who need it, remain in my prayers... God has been very good to me, and I know He hears my requests, and I know He'll answer...

I like the shape of the vase... and I like the fish! I miss having my aquarium set up... I have a 20 gallon high with all the equipment, just sitting out in the garage... I got it as a Christmas present a few years ago, and since we moved, haven't had the chance to set it up and fill it with fish. Our next move should be our last, and I plan to set it up and enjoy it's peaceful bubbling and swimming fish, once again. Watching an aquarium is very relaxing... the sound of the water bubbling through the filters, and the little schools of fish darting back and forth... I always loved having an aquarium. I love that little Buddha! He always looks so cute sitting with your bulbs! I'm very interested in being a part of the Edensbulbs order, Soultan... I've just sent you an email!

Michael, my guess is the places you talked with didnt have any Sunshine Blue in stock, it has to be the only reason. When I first started growing blueberries I found it near impossible for me to arrange to have have various plants bloom at the same time which is a requirement for pollination and setting fruit. You cant hurry mother nature along no matter what. Seeing as the Sunshine Blue is self fertile, and can be grown in pots and produce about 7lbs of fruit per bush, my experience is they cant be beat based on all the features they possess. I am sure there are bigger, better etc etc, yet my experience/luck shows nothing easier and foolproof in my yard anyways. Cindee, Even though I saw them on ebay, I emailed the seller direct and bought em that way. I was a lil uneasy that they didnt have a fone #, but as it turned out, the plants look great, arrived fast and hopefully will make it. I have had some as you mention you have now. Not growing hardly at all. My guess is the pH may be off some and not allowing the nutrients to get to the plant. IF you get some miracid or any type of acid fert and give the plant a good hit of it before it dies altogether you may see positive results. You need to nurse that plant back to good health asap!

I did see this! And yes, I still LOVE it five years later. We still haven't begun the 2nd-floor bathroom, aka the 1925 Hall Bath/Faux Master which is our only bathroom on the bedroom level with a clawfoot tub & a shower ring. So the Starting From Dirt Basement Bathroom is still my favorite place to shower. So here's how to do the Starting From Dirt Basement Bath set up: Hansgrohe Ibox rough in Shower & tub fixtures - Hansgrohe Rain S Showerhead & hand shower S Thermostatic Trim with Volume Control and Diverter (tub to shower) Kohler HydroRail Shower Column and Diverter (showerhead to hand shower) Metris S tub filler The Tub Filler & Hydrorail are tied together at the Ibox by the diverter on the shower trim, the two showerheads switch between each other on the Hydorail. Run it all by your plumber - I don't know if all these parts (especially the hydrorail) are still available! Good luck! Also, here's a link to Part 2 of the Adventure: https://tinyurl.com/ydntvkzc
