Splendiferous/rotted 2 leaves Confusia Mather rotted/2 tiny leaves Biscayne trail rotted leaf (I put in a few, plus a plantlet?)

Ode to beauty (rotted leaf) Silverglade Streams (rotted leaf I put in a few?) Opt. Dali (rotted) Opt. Monique (rotted, one good) I'll try cinnamon for the half rotted leaf that survived! Rhap. Barbara, rotted 2 leaves Ness Crinkle blue- both leaves rotted! Okie Easter bunny-one leaf rotted Ness Fantasy Gold, clear, rotted Optimara Texas rotted 2 leaves Orchard's bumble magnet 2 leaves rotted ______________________ Ok leaf/1 of "Playful spectrum" yay! Optimara Hawaii 2 leaves, ok! again yay, LOL~ 2 leaves of Opt. Chico, yay! Look really healthy! I've had a chihuhua for 17 years, so will love this variety! Opt. Maine, one leaf survived.. and a plant of Ma's Party Music, so I really thank the person who put it in! So, if I counted right.. I ended up with one plant, and a couple of leaves. I really hope everyone's leaves do really well. I had so much fun putting in all the varieties- I would love to do it again right away- but I'm a little disappointed. Deb

Well, that was fun -- let's do it again next fall! We had an even dozen folks and near perfect weather. (I know Dave was eager to light the fire, but it wasn't quite that nippy.) Thanks to Mouse's mom, we had nearly as many freebies as we did plants to trade. And there were some great plants to trade -- there were some striking hosta (was that "Stiletto" or does it just look like it?) lovely lirope, sweet-smelling stephanotis, and I picked up a prayer plant like the ones I remember having as a kid. (And the best part about a swap like this, I got the instructions directly from Dolly on how to care for it.) Kim and Mouse's themed door prizes were great, for the newest gardener, the oldest, the youngest, and the most travelled. And thanks to everyone else who brought door prizes, we had a little something for everyone -- including little Nialls, who happened to latch onto his just as his sister drew his name. But most of all, it was a lovely fall afternoon hanging out in a great garden with wonderful hosts and fun folks, talking about plants, food, and how funny life can be. Terri and I had a really great time -- and we're already planning for next fall! Look forward to seeing folks then, if not at the spring swap -- and thanks again for a great Saturday afternoon. I'll think of you all when I look at my plants! -- alison

Ooh, Mariann, I couldn't imagine even running a comb through my hair with that dent in there much less all they put your head through at the salon. Just thinking of them combing out sections before they snip with the scissors is making me shudder. When I worked in a retail store years ago I had to sort some things in our stock room. The ceiling was very low, only 5ft high (I'm 5'10") and had pipes running all over it. I was always so cautious when working in there but one day I stood up in the wrong spot and hit my head on a brace holding the pipes and went out like a light. I had a dent in my head for quite some time. That was back when I used hot rollers every day to get myself ready for my day. Ouch, the memories! Your mold problems are much worse than mine. The black mold can be especially dangerous. I just found some on one of the kids volleyballs that was left out under some bushes. I need to wash that with some bleach to remove it before they start playing with it again. I'm glad you wear a mask when it is bad. That stuff just isn't good for you.

Hi All, I've been so busy. I made cookies and stuff all night after work and then I answered some email. I wasn't going to write anything tonight because I'm tired. I was ready to go to bed but I realized it may be awhile until I can post again. So I want to tell the story I promised before. 11 years ago in August, Gary's brother, Joe, died helping a motorist who's car had been hit on a major highway. He got struck by a motorcycle that was speeding and then a car driven by a drunk driver. It was as you can imagine was quite an awful time. We as a family decided to donate all of Joe's organs. We felt that he died trying to help someone and it is what he would of wanted. Thanksgiving with Gary's family wasn't the best that year of course. Christmas as far as I could see wasn't going to be much better. On Christmas morning Gary and I got up. He was watching tv, and I was reading the newspaper. I started to read the letter to the editor part of the paper. There was letter from a woman from NJ writing to thank the family who made the decision to donate the organs of the man who had died on the highway. At that point, I just started to whell up with tears and Gary of course couldn't figure out why the paper would make me cry. I tried to read out loud to him, but I couldn't get it out and by that time I was bawling. The woman's brother had received Joe's heart, and surely would of died. It was a wonderful thing she did sending that letter. We were very sad, but we were also very happy to know that people were alive because of him. It made a tough Christmas bearable. So the best gift we ever got cost no more than the time it took her to write a letter and the stamp to mail it. (As a side note,Gary's parents eventually found out about all the people(info without names) he helped. And they did meet the man who got his lungs and became friends with him. They also are active members in UNYTS, the local organ donor group. Also the next year Gary's sister had a baby, the first grandchild. There's nothing like a baby to help lift people's spirits.) Ok, I've got to go to bed. Tomorrow is a long day at work, and then I've got to visit my baby brother and his family in the evening. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, Remy

Grannieofgirls and Ntt_hou, after everyone signs up by sending me their Kt name, real name, address and e-mail; they get matched up with another Kter. You e-mail that person and get to know them a little. Then you go shopping for things you think they might like. There's usually a cut off date for when the package or envelope has to get there. I've decided to let everyone decide with their partner which to do. Some things that people send each other: book markers, crocheted/knitted items, homemade cards or store bought, brochures about their state or region, post cards, candles, fridge magnets, chocolate, Fall-related items, paperbacks, recipes, etc...anything that will fit in your box or envelope.

I had to work yesterday and when I got home last night I wasn't able to bring up my internet browser for some reason. Thought I'd bring this back to the first page in case anyone else wanted to sign up. If Ellie45 wants to join the swap I need her info e-mailed to me. I can't e-mail you because you don't have that option on your homepage.

So, here is who has officially signed up:

Well, I went home early today. Apparently, I got the same bug that the girls had last week. Been resting most of the day on the couch.

So, just wondering if anyone else wants to join?
