hi, Pat, Thank you for the Independence Day wishes and I'm glad to hear you're doing better. I like what you said, Ingrid. I especially love that sentence in the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Because we are all created equal and in the image of our Creator, we have the responsibility to treat each other with respect, knowing that we are all entitled to pursue life, liberty and happiness. Our freedoms to worship God and to pursue our dreams are precious indeed.

Toomanydogs, There were many people in the IE (Riverside, Corona, Upland, Ontario, etc.) during the 2007 freeze that lost a good portion of the collections. Jack @ Kimi's Plumeria in Corona even lost a bunch of plumies. in the Freeze of 2007 my patch got to 36 degrees. I met with a plumie friend from Riverside in October who told me that during the winter of 2010 and 2011 had a night or 2 of frost and lost several plants, some lost irreplaceable plumies such as Red Dusk and others that are hard to get like Thai peach from Jungle Jacks (the mother tree in Thailand was destroyed so there was only 1 season where the Thai Peach was available.). So if you value your plumies or have rare irreplaceable ones I would put them in your garage or get a green house to store them in during the coldest winter months. In So Cal the coldest months are typically Jan and Feb, so more to come. You may want to watch your plumies also if they were out in the cold air as it may take a week to show signs of damage like cracking and oozing of black fluid, shriveling, etc. I also check Weatehr.com, Accuweather, Weatherbug, Weather Underground for hourly updates during the night to see what my plumie patch temps will be. Usually my forecasts are pretty accurate as the coastal influence and marine layer help to regulate the temps and keep them more Constant. I think the drier air in the IE makes your temps a bit more unpredictable as you can have clean night skies which lets the heat escape. Hope your plumies are ok and that you have a Happy Holidays.

I second that, and I also wish you the best in this coming year. This place would not be the same without you. May everyone have a great Christmas day. We are golfing so my wish to myself is to have my swing be strong.

Thank you all for the Christmas wishes.

Gadgets, you asked for an update on mom. She has dementia, and is in a nursing home for rehab after falling and breaking her hip in 4 places. Rehab has been slow. Some from the dementia, and some from slow healing. She has been making progress, and had only just been cleared for total weight bearing a week and a half ago. On Tuesday last week we were told that insurance would no longer be paying for her to stay there. That she would be discharged on Friday. We had less than 24 hours to appeal. The appeal was denied. She/DB is paying to stay until Jan. 5. (DB had total POA) The therapists were just going to start working with mom on stairs and getting in and out of a car. I don't know yet whether mom will go back to DB's or go to another facility. This one is great, but very expensive. Mom has had great care here. I will be sorry to see her moved. DB is trying to keep her with him and his family for as long as possible, but I don't know how much longer that will be possible. Mom is still in a wheelchair, and does very little for herself. The anesthsia and pain medication made the dementia worse. I went Tuesday to see her, and there was very little conversation, tho I try to tell her what the grands and great grands are up to. I went yesterday, and we had a nice visit. She could hold small conversations, and seemed to be enjoying the day. One of her aids is a wonderful woman, who has been an aid since she was 15, and is just a few years older than I am. I will miss her when mom is discharged. I made sure that I talked to her and told her how greatful I am for the care she has given mom. She had just found out the day before that mom is being discharged. She said she will be sad to see her go. Her own mother now has dementia. I am keeping her in my prayers. Thank you so much for asking. I had forgotten that I had posted about this or I would have given an update sooner.
