Hi Ron, I would be happy to help you. I am also partially disabled. I understand having to scale-down or switch to plants that produce each year, but that do not have to planted every year. I have lots of raspberry seed. I also have raspberry plants. I am in zone 7 Massachusetts (Southeast Coast). I can send seed now, or plants later. I grew some thimbleberry from seed last year, and was surprised how easy it was. I have seed of a red raspberry, black capped raspberry (were here when I moved in), and a wild one, and one that trails along the ground. If you are looking for the most production, I would go for the first two, but you are welcome to them all. If you'd prefer to wait for plants, that is OK. You will just have to remind me as I had a head injury and will probably forget. I will look at your list, but even if you do not have anything I want I will send the seeds. For the plants, you could just cover the postage. Robin Robin282mt@verizon.net Here is a link that might be useful: My Trade Page

There is no hurry for a response to this. You must tend to more important matters. I have some orange eggplant and about 13 other varieties. I have not been eating eggplant, because I have only eaten Black Beauty, and I did not like it. I think it was not properly prepared. It grows well here in AZ, so I am trying lots of other varieties. I also have cheddar cauliflower that is Thiram treated. I am sending you my haves list. I am interested in the sweet cherry peppers, the Israely melon, the small wonder squash, the holy basil and anything else you can spare that would take the heat here in Arizona. I hope that the health of your family members is improving. Marge

Melissakv - I think I have what you want. Little girl with mirror, is it Girl in curlers and housecoat and it says "When in the mirror of his love I look at my reflection, I accept myself for who I am with all my imperfection. I don't have a birth announcement but do have a couple holding baby and bible saying Rejoicing with you (Baptism). You could just put announcement on the book instead of bible and use as birth announcement. For wedding it's called Bride and Groom and is couple in wedding attire and the saying is - This is the day which the lord hath made. Congratulations. email me at PeggyAull@hotmail.com if this is what you are looking for.

I can't help with the Ohio part either, but here are some other suggestions: 1. Ask the bride for alternative recommendations! After all, it's her wedding! 2. Call the church secretary where the wedding is being held. She'll know the area and probably know where most rehearsal dinners are held. 3. Find a chain of restaurants you like in YOUR area and find out if they have one in Lorain. 4. Start phoning hotels in the areas and ask if they have a small banquet room as part of their restaurant facility. Hope this helps!
