Karen, try Horrocks on Saginaw Road in Lansing, they have just about every item of produce grown in Michigan and they always have habaneros. You might try a small local hispanic grocery too, I'm sure you have one somewhere in Kalamazoo. I'll bet Sherry would know too... I'd offer you some of mine, but mine are currently waiting while the apricots steep in vinegar so they can become Habanero Gold! If you do buy habs, just be aware that you can dice them and freeze them for more batches of jam later. Annie

I can comment on Pergo flooring. I had it installed about 12 years ago through Lowes. We had a very experienced flooring installer put them in. He did lots of prep work first: screwed down all the floor boards prior to installing the Pergo and all my flooring squeaks went away. My Pergo looks as good today as the time it was installed. I have dropped items on this flooring over the years: no dings or scratches. My brother who is a real estate appraiser for expensive properties was surprised it was Pergo and not wood. I can not say enough about Pergo. Best of luck in your decision. Always research and read lots of reviews on any projects you plan to do. The time you spend is worth it❣️❣️

A citrus world tour would be fun! I've seen photos of hundreds of different lemons they grow in Italy. And Australia has some cool looking citrus as well, not just finger limes. To be able to taste and see the worlds ways of culture would be wonderful. Laura, I know what you mean to be slimming down. Mine are so large it is getting hard to move them in and out of the greenhouse. So I am looking at replacing some of my larger ones with smaller plants. Basically starting over. I have a Clementine that will probably not be replaced, as I haven't gotten fruit on it for the last three years. Probably due to having to cut it back to put it in the greenhouse! But the fruit weren't that great to begin with, I wound up juicing all the fruit. I am sticking to lemons and limes, mostly. I've tried oranges in the past and they just didn't taste that good to me. Could have been the cultivar, but they tasted watery and bland. I have Ponderosa, Meyer, Variegated Eureka, and Lemonade Lemons, Key, Red, Finger, Kaffir, and a Thornless Key Lime, along with Calamondin, Buddha's Hand, Clementine and a Seedling Minneola. And I'm in the process of rooting a cutting of Lisbon Lemon. Oh and a Meiwa Kumquat. And six of those are LARGE! The rest are relatively young, so not huge yet. Lol. Way too many for my small greenhouse!

You are all so kind and supportive. It's nice! But you are giving me too much credit --- we have enjoyed our other stays, learned about new areas, found new restaurants and boutiques and backroads. I don't think "grace, calm, stoic, patient" are words that normally come to mind about me, but I shall, like the bumper sticker, try to be the person y'all think I am !
