Re: flower farm/llamas

Bonnie - just so you don't think you are being ignored, our pal is in
Fayetteville this weekend for the flower farming annual meeting (to see
what she's getting in to as it were) and will be here in Texas Mon-Wed.
Her husband Robert's first grandchild will be induced Monday am, so
they'll be here for that. We're planning a Ya-Ya for Tues. evening
provided we can get everyone together on such short notice. So it may be
some time later in the week before you get a response. I think she'll be
an awesome flower farmer myself. But I think that girl can do anything!
I've never known a soul so determined and w/ so much natural charisma.
Incredible. But Melody and Zem can verify that since they too have had
the pleasure of her company.

Ok, back to watering y'all...
