Dee Krueger-Rosendale, Wi
I have been reading the letters about Mileagers with interest. Our
flower club took a trip there on the 17th of May and they were swamped
with people buying their flowers and etc. When we got ready to leave we
had to stand in line almost a half hour waiting to get checked out. I
will admit that I will be ready to go back there next year. Happy
gardening to all . Dee
