Yep, Tom and Kat. That's the plan. I'm booked with family in town this weekend, but next weekend I'm going to get the bed all fixed up and put some store-bought plants in there so we can get going. Then when the new batch of seedlings is ready, I'll put them in too. Then I'll spend all winter defending the tomatoes from the puppy, who thinks farming is just the most wonderful thing because it allows him to supplement his diet with tasty almost ready to pick tomatoes, sapodillas that fall, entire broccoli plants (broccoli is going out front this year - only broccoli we ate last year was from two plants that didn't fit in the broccoli bed in the back and got stuck in a front bed, a shame because broccoli was always so happy in the so-called broccoli bed, but it only took Atticus a few minutes to decimate them one morning when our backs were turned, he's sneaky that way) and so many cherries he gets sick (we've gotten rid of all the cherries finally.) As for the book, I'll definitely let everyone know when it's out. I'm pretty excited about the whole effort.

I'm very late to this party, but still wanted to wish the evil one a happy birthday! I've been busy and haven't been on CF much the last couple of months, so I've missed a lot. I've kept up with the Saints, though, and I'm not blaming Jessy for that loss on Sunday. They had nothing to lose or gain by winning, so they didn't really try. Jessy, keep wearing your Black and Gold for future games --- the rest of the games are going to matter!

Hi, Mariedeane. I see you just registered today so here'a big KT welcome and hope you have a wonderful birthday tomorrow. Want to tell us about yourself? As you can see, we're a pretty friendly bunch and would love for you to grab a chair and chat with us.

Jasdip, the KT is listed as my favorite site, (Been a Garden Web member since I got my first PC, in !997.) but ever since iVillage bought GW, we never know what might change. A lot of KTers don't have a birthday listed on their profile; I guess that is their choice, or not. Any way, at least I still know when mine is! Susan, that isn't my helmet; it is my DGS's DW's. They ride a lot. He would never have taken me with out it. But I didn't really like the "Harley helmet hairdo" when I saw the pic. The only other time I rode was once, at their house, around the block, so this was my maiden voyage. I appreciate all your kind, and flattering, replies. If there is a reason for my being at this age, it is because I am not a worrier, and I prefer to use common sense and logic in all things and the BIGGIE: I truly believe that laughter is the best medicine. I love (good, clean) humor and try my best to spread it around. The cupcake girl's DH is the photographer, but he didn't take any of the refreshment tables. But if I did this right, here is a commercial that a radio station did for them a while back. Sue P.S. Sylvia, you better hurry up and grow up!
