Seysonn, you are correct and I am learning a lot fast. I like this forum and out of all the forums I am a part of this is the best. People are very knowledgeable here and I have a lot to learn. I am glad you pointed that out so I can say thank you for not only seeds but assistance in growing them and utilzing them. John, I had two older (15 and 17 years older) brothers and whatever they could do I had to be able to do and do it better so I am accustomed to eating hot, sour, etc and not making faces if possible. I also like Thai food and the local Thai owner and cook gives me some of the special hot sauce on my food that they keep in a jar behind the register for special guests who like it hot. That is where I learned not to inhale while swallowing extremely hot food. I used some of the powder in the dish I prepared tonight and my room-mate did not need his car to get back to work as he flew out the door with flames coming from you know where and he was whimpering. I just sat there trying hard not to laugh as he danced in the road before coming back in and asking if I was trying to kill him. I told him no that I was only trying to light a fire under him so he could get his chores done. He shut up and went back to eating along with drinking almost two liters of beverage. I thought it was fairly mild. Can't wait to try the other one though I think my tongue may not survive this tasting.

Dee, you've passed the packaging test with flying colors!! Your box arrived and everything will make it just fine! I'm so happy with what you've sent: A very nice card and note Creeping Sedum - new for me Heliopsis 'Lorraine Sunshine' - Love the foliage on this!! Columbine songbird 'Cardinal' - LOVE this columbine!! Scabiosa pale yellow - I've been wanting this also :) Dianthus 'Telstar' - There is even a flower blooming! Viola - pretty colors that I don't have! Sweet William 'Heart Attack'- I love the color of this! Daylily 'David Kirschoff' Daylily Siloam 'Fairy Tale' Daylily 'Bela Lugosi' Daylily 'Nefertiti' I've googled these daylilies, and will absolutely love them blooming in my gardens!! Thank You soooo much Dee, for all of these wonderful flowers!!! I will get them planted and watered immediately! It's a nice cool day today. Last night we were in a frost advisory, and I've not been feeling well, picked up some kind of nasty cold virus, so I decided my plants were on their own. Didn't have the energy to go out and take care of them. Everything looked fine this morning. Tracy, hope your water situation was taken care of! Sassy, your granddaughter just keeps on getting cuter and cuter!! Have a good day everyone! Karen (still smiling from ear to ear)

Thank you everyone. I enjoyed reading all your comments. Jeanne...I was trying to figure out what to use for a 'splash' of color..my red runner wasn't doing it for me. When I put down the red scarf, I liked the soft flow of it. I'm looking forward to seeng your floors. HOpe you take plenty of pics for us. OA...'elegant, yet so warm and inviting at the same time. Not tooooo frilly, but very "valentines-y" just the same.' Thanks...I guess I accomplished what I was looking to do! I'm smiling! BTW...the Heirloom White - Satin..is by Rust-Oleum (Painter's Touch) It has fabulous coverage. The color is a nice soft white. I bought mine at Home Depot last Summer 'cheap' - I've been giving 'new life' to many things I have. In fact I've got to replenish my supply. DH discovered mine and he's loving it too! Punk..you and some other 'enablers' here have really inspired me with all your lovely tables and decorations. I guess I caught the 'Love Bug' and had to do something too! Karen...'You' not an enabler - ... HA! For someone who doesn't do tablescapes, you put together the most lovely vignettes with ALL your collections and Holiday goodies! I get totally swept away! So, I guess it's safe to say yeah...you're a 'First Class Enabler' !! Nana...I got hooked on cherubs from some of our 'Friendly Enablers' here. I keep a few out all year. I love tucking them in here and there throughout the house. Thanks again ladies for all your lovely comments. jane

Thanks for asking. I don't recall the name off hand, but I am not that great with my memory right now. I just saw her about a month and a half ago. She is fine. She still loves to quilt. She also has really gotten into knitting and dabbles in some beading. Still has her yearly tea parties. They moved into their newly built home about two years ago. It is very nice and overlooks a golf course, yet their back yard is the woods... if that makes sense. She has had some health issues with her heart. They had to defib it a couple of times. Something about it just fluttering rather than beating, and she also has to take a blood thinner. I am not sure exactly why, but she also can't eat green veggies or something to that nature as it makes something go haywire. Thanks again for asking. She is doing well for the most part.
