You're funny, Tally! :-) It's so true, though... we speak such a jumble of slang and improperly used words... I couldn't imagine having to learn English at my age! The internet has made the world a lot smaller, and we find that people in different areas, different countries, are the same as we are... we have the same hopes and dreams, the same hobbies, and the same things are important to us. Through GardenWeb, I've made some wonderful friends, and some live on the opposite side of the globe! It's nice that we can share our love of bulbs, our love of gardening, with others... and we can learn about the different ways we all culture our bulbs, and the different seasons and ways of gardening. And one of the best parts is that we're able to share this in picture form, so we can see what gardening is like around the world!

Thank you all for your kind words! I will pass them onto Jack the creator. Jack K. kindly gives each named lady in the Aussie Beauty series the first available pup. I don't know how long before she will be commercially available in Australia, let alone globally. I suspect my namesake vriesea will keep her good looks perpetuated longer than my own! LOL Cheers, Kerry

Hi Julie, What is Silver City like? Gosh, I don't know where to begin. I grew up in Minnesota and am now back here where I started. I really like the climate in Silver City. I used to tell people that it's far enough south to have mild winters but high enough in elevation (6,000ft.) to have nice summers. We'd never get that unbearable heat like El Paso or Tucson. The average annual rainfall is about 16 inches with half of that coming during the rainy season of July and August. Starting on the edge of town is the Gila Nat'l Forest, 1.5 million acres to roam around in. I've always been an outdoors guy and raised 4 sons down there that love to hike and camp as much as I do. The Nat'l Forest ranges in elevation from about 5,000ft to over 11,000 ft. Silver City is about 10 or 12 thousand now, not the sleepy little town that it was when we moved there in 1985. It even has a Wal-mart now. But, to do any serious shopping you have to go to El Paso or Tucson each at least 3 hours away. I don't believe I have any pictures of the town itself, but I could share some of the surrounding areas. Great Mexican food there of course. That's probably one of things I miss the most. You just can't get decent green chile up here. What else would you like to know about? Ron

Welcome Susan!!!! This is a great forum with very talented members. Hope your recovery is fast! I also like to 'put up' stuff and garden. I moved from Central Florida to a small (very small lol) SE Georgia town (community) and I have no quilting friends here so I depend on our forum for knowledge and entertainment. Everyone in my town and family loves my quilts and they tolerate me talking about them but I have not met or converted a quilter yet here yet. Yes we do love pics! Rosa

How exciting, I love grandbabies! He's adorable. How beautiful the mother looks, too. She doesn't look like she's had a baby at all.

That's a great photo.

Thanks all- his name is Boston Ryan 7lbs. 7 oz. 21 1/2", and just perfect! He was born at 37 weeks.

And thanks for the comments about Ashley, she had a difficult labor which ultimately resulted in a C-section at 3:30 am. But she really did look good when she got to meet him at 4:30.

They got to go home Sunday afternoon

Just the grandparents and Uncle Dusty were there to welcome them home, and to celebrate with a birth cake.

Luckily Daddy gets maternity leave too so he will be off all week to help. And I only live 7 miles away so I can see him often.

Di, both my girls were C-section babies, so I'm glad to hear that Dad will be at home for a week to help out. It's more tiring than people might thing, adding major surgery to a new baby at home.

He's beautiful, and I'm glad you are close, where you can enjoy being a grandmother to the fullest. (grin)
