My husband was in michigan this week and that was one of the flights he thought about taking on thursday night. He flies a lot and it just hit close to home. Clarence is not far from where we live. We are a little more out in the country. Big sigh of relief. When the news came on at 10pm they announced at the end of the broadcast that a plane had crashed by the airport, but they didn't know anything yet. By the time the 11pm news came on, it was not until after the weather that their news crews made it to the neighborhood and they announced it was a commercial plane. WIVB broadcast without commercial break until I went to bed at 2am. When my husband called to say he was alright i was so grateful. (wipes tears and sniffles) Fran, Could i have the blanket flower, please? BTW, DS#3 watered my keyboard once, its still a little iffy. We set it in from of the blower on the woodstove for a week. Just FYI those of you sowing in the keys LOL! Thank all of you for the prayers. Families here are esp. close knit and things like this are difficult for anyone. Praying for your FIL, too Nichol.

Hi Everyone, I am really new to GW, just today. I live in Altona, up near the Canadian Border. Just retired in April and have a lot a time to spend on my gardens. I wish we had a place to have a swap around here it would be great. Most of my perennials came from my niece in Syracuse, when I started gardening I went to her house and got some cuttings from her. Now my plants are so hugh I have to transplant and have given a lot of them away. Since I retired I put in a new raised bed of shrubs and I love it, already have plans for a another new shaded garden next year. I am getting rid of my last annual garden, planted some perennials in it this week and added some bulbs, now I will only add some annuals for color. Saves a lot of money. If anyone in area would like to swap just contact me. Terry

Do you have any piercings? Any piercings other than in the ears? One piercing in each ear is all I have. Where did you last go on vacation? Hawaii Do you give money/items to charity? Which ones? Susan G. Komen Foundation for the Cure; Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation; American Foundation for AIDS Research; Goodwill; among others Are there any pictures/initials on your address labels? Some have red ribbons for AIDS research; some have pink ribbons to support a cure for breast cancer Do you have any stickers (not including inspection or parking) on your car bumper/window? No Do you get along with your in-laws? From what I know of them, I believe I would have, but they both died before I ever met my hubs. My parents also both died before hubs and I met.... Do you have a coffee table? what's on it? We don't use a coffee table What do you with the plastic bags you get from the store? We don't get plastic (or paper) bags from the store. We always bring in our own bags. Some are canvas, some are some other type of indestructible material, and we also use some of the Lands' End tote bags for groceries.

Yes I got addicted real bad too.. Last year. Bad! Oh I bought two southern highbush blueberries this 6 weeks ago. They are very small and were at Walmart lol lol. And I was gonna order about 8 southern highs this yr but I just didn't get around to it and I saw the two plants at Walmart. They were in a 2 for one bag for 9 dollars total price so my addiction kicked in and I grabbed them. I planted 5 knockout rose bush for my wife and they bloomed last week. They look really nice right now. Maybe I'll send a pic yes dude I. So addicted to growing it's insane.. I need rehab lol
