Sounds good to me. I miss those days, before Main Man moved in. The phone rings constantly with him here only partially retired. Plan a surprise for DW while she is out. Prepare a meal, paint a room, a fix it project? That would be nice. Keep the Spark! Gayle

Moving is no fun and hard work. I'm still fighting a sinus infection. Been sick for about a month now, started with a cold, then sinus infection, then stomach problems because of the antibiotic I was on. Sinus infection is back now and am on my second antibiotic. The blooming trees aren't helping but they sure are beautiful. Everything is blooming in such a short time this year because it's been so warm. Yesterday I made myself do some yard work, Lauren mowed the front yard and I weedeated. Sola helped too. I started to do the backyard but was worn out after mowing part of the yard. If it doesn't rain this afternoon I might go out and finish. Most of it is weedeating. I want to clean the sunroom too but sure don't feel like doing the work. I'm going to go take some Tylenol for my headache and watch a Midsomer Murder episode that came from Netflix yesterday. Then have to go take Sola to the eye doctor so she can get the hang of putting contacts in her eyes. Back to work tomorrow. ) :

Eric! Doggonit, I knew I couldn't get it passed you! There are TOO many bamboo nurseries in Washington. Shot me off the mountain as soon as I got to the top. Good Answer! A bamboo node, it is. I knew it was too easy, maybe next time I will be more prepared. I will have to post the larger picture in another post. Kt

Linda, since I am headed to my Vegan daughters, I can fully appreciate your desire to eat vegetarian. Please, tell me a different option. It's getting close, and I just need to start lining everything up in Des Moines. I have all other ducks in a row. :) I don't have reservations yet, but have quotes from all motels in that area. I won't even mind, calling around more, if we end up in a different area of town. Also, if you or anyone else doesn't want to drive home that night, I could take a double room, and let someone share it with me. But, that person would have to content with not smoking. Moni
