Hi Jeff;
If this is the place, where is the place? Do you have a garden we could
admire, and are you far from the Route we will be travelling? Good old
84, to Salt Lake City. We leave next Wednesday, so will probably be in
your part of the country Thursday or Friday. Please let us know.
Nancy (and David) Silverberg,
Molalla, OR, zone 8, where we are overdosing on our irises before we
leave for convention.
