I have a Red Flame honeysuckle that's lovely and pretty well behaved. However, I doubt honeysuckles do well in mostly shade. There are some nice monkshood vines (Aconitum) that perform well in shade if you're looking for a hardy vine.
Personally, I'd prefer to look at annual vines for this application. You're right, that hydrangea vine will eventually fill in, but so might the quick grower you select. They'd eventually have to duke it out for available light and space and I would think the fast grower would win and you'd lose all the headway you made the past 3 yrs for the Hvine. Or it might become an unsightly mess of both vines needing constant attention. Some people just have no patience. Oh, and you might consider adding a bit extra phosphorous to encourage blooms.
Most annual flowering vines that I searched like full sun or light shade. Maybe you could weave in some fake flowers for her instead._^..^_

I was just going to suggest climbing hydrangea. Mine took three years before 
it started blooming and then it was beautiful. What about Native Carolina
Jessamine which produces showy yellow flowers in early spring and is semi
evergreen here in the south. Confederate jasmine blooms prolifically with
small extremely fragrant white flowers in spring and sporadically thereafter 
until frost. Each of these are best suited to southern locals, zones 6-9.
Trumpet honeysuckle , an evergreen, offers a showy bloom that provides nectar for hummingbirds and butterflies. Bright red berries appear in the fall after 
bloom ceases. Itbs dense evergreen habitat, often reaching lengths of 20
feet per tendril, also provides cover throughout the seasons.
Most homeowners immediately call to mind the prolific and invasive Japanese honeysuckle . However, there are many non invasive species of honeysuckles to 
choose from, such as Gold flame , Browns and Tatarian . Each of these is
suited for zones 3-9.

Am also having trouble getting interested in Facebook 'tho' my grown
children are certainly into it.
Can anyone recommend a vine, annual or perennial, that will bloom the first 
year and will tolerate mostly shade? I have a client who is unhappy with
the climbing hydrangea I planted a few years back that has never bloomed. I 
hate to pull it out as I suspect it is just now mature enough to put on a
show. I'm wanting to hedge my bets by planting something right next to it so 
that there will be some sort of bloom this year.
BTW were there really no emails from this group for 6 days?? Last one I got 
was the 22nd 'til Andreas comments re facebook yesterday. Guess it is time
to be out working in the garden rather than just talking about it! Kathy

Just my opinion, but Facebook is only a commitment if you make it one. I
check it when I feel like it. The main reason I signed up was to keep in
touch with my 14 year old niece. Until recently, I mainly got to see how
booooorrrrreeeeeeeeed she was most of the time. LOL! Now I just send a
message to people I WANT to talk to, like Jesse & Pam and a few others. I
check it about once a week.

I resisted the Facebook thing as a young persons' bad habits...finally went 
on FaceBook and then backed off because of several reason. Now I am back
with a better understanding...but still not enough time it would seem.
Computers have been a necessity to the nursery business from day one, so
that and being on various lists has been not only a necessity but a joy as
well. I have made contact with so many great gardeners, often face to face. 
Come on in.. the water is just right

I think this is like when we jumped on the train to learn computers and
e-mail.
Think how much we would have missed if we had not jumped on.
My laptop and wireless makes it easy to read from anywhere in the house
or lots of places everywhere! My I phone has become such a neccessary
luxury too!

Can anyone believe it is 2010!!!!!
Life keeps moving on!
