Thank you all so much for your warm wishes. Needless to say mr di and I discussed the how, why and when for years. It was interesting how we came to the decision to do this so privately. The idea felt so right when we took into account that just our family list would come to 85 persons, the fact that we have been together for so many years and the why we wanted to get married. It may sound simplistic, but we just really wanted to be married. I can't think of a better reason. We decided not to even take pictures because it was such a personal and private choice. Our memories would suffice. We couldn't of asked for a more beautiful morning. Jaz, you made me laugh. I had those exact pair of jeans on, lol, but later when I was puting my sweater in the washer I noticed I still had the inspection sticker on! (Thought you'd get a kick out of that.) About the danged egg thingie, we'll have to wait for suzy's answer. I was just trying to be prepared. And, jan, lol, mr di and I have been tired the last two nights. Just don't call tonight. Thank you all again for your kind words. You all made it such a pleasure to share such an intimate part of my life. We finally told the kids last night. More people here know than our family. ;o) That being said, I better get busy ringing up my sisters. ~di

Good one Cynic! :-) I've never seen or heard of sun dogs but would love to see one some day. Course that would probably require me to get up when the sun is rising. Prolly not gonna happen. :-) Jodi-

https://www.fourwindsgrowers.com/our-citrus-trees/citrus-variety-info-chart.html I have free gift cards to kill at home depot so that is where I would like to source them from. One local HD actually takes care of their plants so they look great. I was planning on two: 1. "Citrus Grapefruit Red Dwarf" = Rio Red dwarf? + Owari satsuma These look the right height and I'll be happy to keep cut to 6' as mentioned in the above info chart. I just can't take a 15ft citrus tree there that can't be pruned at all. OR 2. Just put the meyer lemons there. These are just the regular ones, not the "improved." OR 3. Meyer + dwarf red grapefruit. Thanks for any help. Despite being in florida, citrus is the one thing I still know little about.
