Thanks, Yeah I'm on my own, that's what scares me. I'll be driving all the way up there and hubby is not a good backseat driver. My BIL and his wife is going up for the same conference. I wish I could have been going the other direction, it would have been fun to get down south to visit, but I'm afraid we're going north, somewhere above SF. I'm told it's about 5 hours above SF. We'll see when we get past the big red barn, that can take hours to get past. I'm hoping to go to Reagan's Nursery to visit Don Cravalho's epies. I went there once, but forgot my camera. DOH! Eddie at the Epiforums said he'd like a few pics when I go up there again. Now that's a vacation! I'd love to go to all the botanical gardens and nurseries between here and Oregon, Hubby would like to go to all the book stores along the way! How about a garden bookstore, that way we'd both be happy? LOL

Sue----that was wonderful...great job. Hope you have tons of blooms next year. I also went on a fabulous vacation thanks to Annette. Hi Shirley and Family, Pack your bags for your vacation to Myrtle Beach, SC. You will be staying at the Myrtle Beach Resort condos (2 bedrooms, 2 baths, full kitchen, queen sleeper sofa and balcony facing the beach.) ROSE CHAMPION will be at the desk to check you in for your week vacation. AMBER MIST (coneflower) will be available for anything you need in your condo. The Resort is beautifully landscaped with lots of daylilies, HEADY WINE, SMALL GESTURE, LUCKY DRAW (which has a very big red eye) and WATCHYL LAVENDER BLUE, planted in lots of beds. One shade bed had TOAD LILIES blooming, even though they are small they make a statement. One bed was full of COLUMBINES blooming in all colors. Enclosing a Grand Strand coupons and map of Myrtle Beach. Also a magnet for your refrigerator to remind you of this trip. Also a keychain with sand from beach on inside. Myrtle Beach guide with coupons inside as there are lots to do at the beach. Many places to eat, lots of golf courses, great shopping, water sports, flea markets and theaters for entertainment. Have a great time at the beach, "Sun Fun City" Thanks so much Annettee it seemed like I was right there. I love all my plants and it's always fun to vacation at the Beach.

Oh, the poses are perfect! What cuties Eddie and Ivy are. Can I send my grandpuppy out to you for a picture taking session? There is no way we can get her to hold still like that.

LOL What a nut! Does Eddie fetch? Our Miss (Doxie too) doesn't like it outside when its cold at all! She shouldn't be living in ND. She loves heat and will go lay on the hot sidewalk and soak up sun! (til she gets hot!) Now Mac the Chihuahua whom you'd think would be hating cold doesn't seem to mind it like Miss does! Hmmmm maybe its my dogs that are nuts? LOL
