To aid in identifying, I made a little diagram of the pot. I spent many hours last night looking at pictures to try to identify things myself. I confess I am too green to have any confidence, though. 5, 6, & 9 are identified. 1 may be a kind of Echeveria? Maybe a Tylecodon? 2 Sempervivum? 3 a type of Haworthia? 4 Aeonium? I do have more close-up pictures of the individual plants, if that would be of any help. And not to be pushy, but keep in mind that I'd love to get ideas on which members of my collection I can successfully grow together. If I can just run with what I think I like together visually, great. But I'm receptive to other concerns. It may take a while to get the whole collection up here. I have some plants that had labels, but I want to try to verify the labels first.

I'm 2/3 set....well, sort of. I'm still working on the hand made item, but I found the cookbook yesterday. Like many of you, I had to get 2 of them, one for myself and one for my partner. I'm still puzzling over the local item. I've found a nice locally produce item, but I'm not sure about shipping it. I'm going to do some more research. I've thought of other things, but Texas is a big state, and I'm not sure if the other side of Texas counts as local. Unfortunately, where I live the primary locally produced products are McMansions. I know I can spend as much as I want, but I'm NOT spending THAT much! LOL. Besides, that would definately be hard to ship! Sally

My kinda Gal! Sparklies! Yum!!! ;-D

Recently I realized how old a couple of the sweatshirts I wear around the house are. One is from around 1985 or so. Nothing wrong with the stitching but it's very worn and they are some bleach stains. I bought it in the Globe bargain basement in Scranton for a few bucks. I guess I got my money's worth. I also have two from my college years. One, my Temple U Sweatshirt, is probably from '87 or '88 and I think the other is from '92 when Stern's at the Gallery in Philly went out of business. The Temple sweatshirt tore at the cuffs but the sweatshirt from Stern's is perfectly intact except it used to change color if you applied heat to the front and it doesn't do that anymore. Nothing I've bought more recently holds together as well. I love to lounge around in fleece.
