Kristi, just thought I should mention the Kordes perfume-fest Parole, aka Buxom Beauty. Was introduced to the USA in 2008, so it may have gone under your radar. Apart from its names (Jailbait/Dumpling - yeah, good work there, Kordes Marketing Dept), this deep cerise pink rose is pretty near perfect - no spray requirements, beautiful high-centred flowers with substantial petals (HUGE blooms in cooler weather), nicely productive with a fragrance that is really intoxicating and waft-y, richly sweet but sophisticated. No cold cream or myrrh. And it cuts like a dream. I'm up to six of these. They're my battery hens for vase filling. Just sayin'.

Thank you!! I am now about 95% complete with the kitchen... It has been a lot of work, so many doors to paint. I had to stop and pack up and cleanup my mess.. family is coming to visit / stay with us! The Rug, I purchased from S&H Rugs in New Jersey... on ebay or online you can find them at 1800getarug. I purchased 2 other rugs from them, and the descriptions are fairly accurate. I also had t=2 rugs that I returned, and they were easy to deal with and promptly refunded my money.

my local library just hosted a edible food guru.. and a local mushroom hunter ... if you have interest in either..... i suggest you find local sources.. and watch them eat stuff first ... rather than relying on stranger on the WWW .... [you did well, asking first ... this is for other readers as well] the nightshade family is rather toxic in all its aspects ... ken

We have a similar situation. We are now up to 6 months here and 6 months in Florida, give or take. I think the Florida doctors are used to snow birds. It wasn’t too difficult finding duplicates down in Florida. However, a big S must be written on every senior’s forehead and it stands for sucker! The PC we use is big on ordering lots of test and pushing B-12 shots. She even had a rational for why I should take them even though my level is fine! She wants you in for an appointment discuss blood work that is normal or a tad high. i am not going to use her any more. DH is wavering. What I feel is overkill, he thinks is thorough. I found a good eye doctor when I had a sty. The dentist that I used was set up primarily for dental hygiene. I had to see her first and get all my x rays up to date. Okay. When I saw her she mentioned a red mark, and pethaps it could be cancer! i wasn’t buying it as my NY dentist calls those ”pizza burns.” she then proceeded to tell me everything that should be corrected for a tune of $2500! The hygienist weeks later of course found nothing. And she did a thorough cleaning so for once a year, its fine. My current plan is doing everything in NY except for a dental hygiene cleaning. We found a really good walk in clinic. I wound up with Covid and they were great. I agree with Sherry. A good walk -in clinic can fill the gap. We have been using a walk in my home town for 30 years. While I like my NY PC, she is a few towns over and it is just so easy to walk in and get a quick check or flu shot. However, I would have a specialist for any special condition that you might have. You don't need a PCP in my opinion. You have to be your own advocate through every decision.
