aw! I thought I had just gone through a temporal time shift! disappointed now! :-)

Thanks John, did the pods have any heat? Great photo's BTW, Are you growing a lot this year? Danny, I had the same problem year after year with seeds of C. galapagoens, but it looks like my luck has changed as I now have a little sprout poaking his head up either him or the one seed of C. tovarii that I planted in the same cup. This time around it was more of an experiement to see if I would get a C. tovarii or a C. galapagoens both have very long germination times. Its quite possible that C. lanceolatum also has a long germination time. Is that true for it John? it took two months for the galapagoens or the tovarii to come up I'm pretty sure its the galapagoens, as I had put a marker by it. If it is then in another month the tovarii should also come up. By the way my missing post is back where i had posted it in the beginning. So I might get other answeres on it too. George W.

I just noticed the same thing as I went searching for the post about the house in Austin where the owner wanted to add separation from the entry to living/dining. Somebody had posted a pic with a bookshelf between columns that I wanted to have a closer look at how they were placed between the columns. I want to do something similar, but with cabinets for hidden storage instead.

They newer photos of your paint look pretty close to my kitchen and family room walls. :-) Don't worry about the mini-novel. It's the cheapest therapy there is, and if you can get a laugh in here or there, pretty good medicine too. You're doin' good!
