wantonamara, now that's an idea LOL. I was beginning to think I'd have to ship half of what I bought back on the bus but we got hold of a bunch of sleeve bags, slid the small pots down in them, twisted the top and just packed them in my pull along. The only damage was a bit of the bloom got rubbed off some of the leaves and a few leaves snapped off the fuchsias. I already have that particular Aeonium although mine would look wimpy sitting next to the ones at the nursery. I was tempted to buy another one but resisted. All I can say is I'm glad they have elevators to get to the different levels in both the ferry terminals and the ferry itself.

Gesila: Baker's Acres is right around the corner from Amity. They call themselves neighbors. Definitely worth a stop. Yes, Wade and Gatton's is amazing. I can spend hours wandering through their gardens. Thousands of mature hosta, all labelled. Their pricing is by the division, so hosta can get quite expensive there, especially if you want a larger one. Sounds like you've been there. Another place to visit is Wade Gardens (Mansfield) Owned by Van Wade's son. Probably my favorite Ohio hosta seller. You can get large(huge) multi division plants for very reasonable prices. They have a good selection, though obviously not as extensive as Wade and Gatton. And if you can go a couple hours further south a very interesting place is Cory's Wildflower Gardens in Chillicothe. Owned and run by 87 year old Mr. Cory for the past ?? years. In a residential, but wooded, area he has 7 acres of hosta and wildflower gardens. He is quite the character. I love to go there. Barb

Kim, I've had three stress tests done. The first two I ran on a treadmill, the second tine I fell off, luckily not hurt. The third was the "chemical" kind, where they inject you. All three were very unpleasant, to say the least. Glad yours is over. I just got a letter from my transplant center that I need a bunch more tests, mammogram,etc.

Very pretty area for a picnic. I definitely know about that rule! I had a dog eat the entire Christmas ham. You're lucky you got a few bites back lol. So cute.
