Okay...I actually got this box on Thursday...and yes I opened it then, but have been busy. This wonderful package came from MargeC. She sent Vintage, Floral & Romance..Miss Elizabeth's scrapbook pages, 2 different types of shape scissors (I didn't have these shapes either!), a great garden flower windmill (it is already in its new home), a memo gift set with a floral design, a writing journal with a floral motif(I'm going to use this one for my reflections of my teaching), a photo memo box(OK..I just realized what this is..call me slow. This is sooo cute), a wonderful double teddybear figurine holding a heart shaped crystal, and a beautiful oval shaped gift box full of seeds & bulbs. The list of seeds & bulbs: Gladiolus Madame de Paris Gladiolus Prins Claus Winter onion Hollyhock Summer carnival Yellow Figleaf Hollyhock Hollyhock Double Peach Poppy Pink Siberian Iris Purple Helleboru Mixed daylilies Lunaria Purple I can't wait to get these to growing and seeing them bloom. She also sent a sweet fairy card. Thank you so much Marge for sharing. I really have some wonderful gardening friends. GW is a wonderful place. Dee

Thanks, Don, for the quotes from one of my favorite writer, Arthur Clarke. Morris Dees is one of the people I always admired, despite that he is a lawyer.
