Yikes, I am so sorry to hear that hubby lost his job....just keep praying and hold the faith. Things are slowly looking up around here!!! I will pray for your family. And, yes, I have a few seeds left. And plenty when the rest of the pods ripen. Glad everyone got their seed envelopes so far! You are welcome!!!! I am holding on to 9 more padded envelopes, They have been ready to go for days, I will go to the PO tomorrow with 4 of them that I feel safe to send----- But, you folks up north, 5 of you, Elizabeth, Cassie, Karen, Celeste, and John, I will not send unless you insist, right now!!! I can send tomorrow with the rest, if you want to take a chance on the seeds being okey during this cold weather. Email me and give me the go ahead! Okey, here are the pods yet to ripen and they could be ready any day. Regular posters get first dibs, so if I run out, sorry. There is a S&H fee. I also have a few OP/open polinated seedpods, the "who's your daddy?" ones! Email me your interest! Are you getting tired yet? LOL!!

OP- 1- Dola x ?? 2- Inspiraton x ??? 1 pod on seedling Divinity Sorry, din't mean to go on and on!! ~Brenda

Sounds like much of the same here in the lower 48. Even here is ND where the oil boom is bringing in so much money BUT everything is way too high for the average person. Just ask some of the Canadians that come south to shop and try to find a place to stay.

kathyg, I hope your DH is well and that the cancer is one of the less dangerous ones! I send thoughts of healing his way. I spent an hour or so at the old house today with the rent-to-owner. I stopped by to drop off the packet of owner's manuals for the house. She had just finished paying the movers and I showed her the ins and outs of various things about the house. She had already been weeding the perennials and we looked at the gardens so I could show her what was what. We were both excited and talking a mile a minute. She has beautiful furniture and my attempt to paint neutral colors in the living/dining area resulted in trim that perfectly toned with the color of her taupe leather furniture. The ceiling fan we replaced a few years ago was the same color, too. It looked perfectly planned. The neighbors across the street greeted her and her friend with margaritas on Friday night when she finished carrying in a car full of her things. She still loves the place (called it "charming"!) and her friend did too. She feels lucky to have gotten it for a price she can afford, and we have nothing but relief that we get $1000/mo toward the carrying costs!

Shirley, yes our neighbours are terrific. You must have had a nice day today, as we did. Jim, I'm taking a pork roast out of the freezer for the weekend. Haven't had one in a while. Phyllis, that's what I do. I made a ziti on the weekend to have extra meals thru the week, and cooked extra chicken breasts on purpose.
