Cathy, thank you for the kind words.   I am sure prayers have gotten our
son here today.   He has been in some very tight corners but pulled thru.
     Friendship is sooo important, I agree.   I recall with great pleasure
my experience, along with 60 of our MG group, visiting your garden a few
years ago.     I have also meet Rich and Melanie and had a plant swap with
Jim.
  To bad the plans to have a meeting of the group never materialized. Judy,
my memory is certainly not what it was but I don't think I had the
opportunity to meet you in Orlando.   Please help me jog my memory if this is
true.
     Hugs to all, Ceres (Carolyn)
