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)

So nice to hear from you. Will keep your son in my prayers. I, too,
have had cataract surgery, but opted for distance vision. Now have
reading glasses located in strategic locations throughout the house
and in my purse! My gardening situation has been similar... why is it
that the weeds continue to thrive??? Even though our group doesn't
chat as much, I hope we will all maintain contact. Friendship is
important!

Noreen, I have read   the recent messages and glad to hear all is
well from
those we have heard from.   It is hard to believe the storm photos and
hearing the residents plea for help.   Seems to be another Katrina.
Auralie, I
am so sorry you are in the dark.   Hang on my friend and hope there
is light
soon. We were recently without power for 12 hrs and it was the
longest 12
hrs!   We have underground utilies but with the only recent rain
which wasn't
much, water got into the equipment under ground.
     I am doing well but did not attend the Houston show this year as
our
son has been in the hospital
since Aug 28 and 31 days was in ICU.   He had a successful surgery
but they
were unable to take him off the vent due to lung failure (ARDS).
He now
has a trach but unable to breath on his own.   I just had both my
cataracts
taken care of a week apart.   It was painless and hopefully I will
not need
corrective lenses as I paid the extra and got the best lens.   I
have mono
vision lens, one for distance and one for close-up   which is the
same as my
contacts were.
     This has been the most unbelievable year for gardening.   We had
90
deg weather in March, a big freeze in April, extreme drought which
continues
but a beautiful fall.   I have hopes for a better year next season
however
they are saying to expect the lack of rain to continue.   I have 3
large
garden tours scheduled in June.
     So glad we have one day remaining till the election.   Obama,
Michelle
and concert team will be in Des Moines   East Village (just at the
foot of
the capital) this evening.   My youngest GD, Nadia, now a kindergarten
teacher, lives in one of the historical lofts and the bleachers were
being setup
just below her windows. Her sister, Natasha who now lives, works and
working
on her masters in Denver is so envious.
     Sorry this list is not what it was.   I am not a part of the
social
scene but am a member of Facebook with 2 friends only, no more!   I
am only
there for my spring greenhouse job which uses for means of preseason
information.   I spend to much time on the computer as is.
     Best wishes to you all, Ceres (Carolyn)
