Re: checking in / happy fall!

Means the same thing to me Kitty - LOL.  I can't shell the pecans since I
had that wrist surgery back in '91, so I give them away.  I can send you a
box if you don't mind shelling them.  I pick them up to keep the weeds out
of the lawn and flower beds.  But people are usually quite pleased to get
them.
