Re: Seeds


Hi Chris,

Just a few lines to Thank You for the pictures and the seeds and geneology!
It arrived safe and sound, I was so surprised one of the first pieces of
mail I got after the postal strike.  We have our computer up and running,
after the problems I told you about before and getting it fixed elsewhere,
we couldn't get on the net.  Then we found out that someone in the next town
was using our password, and id.  I hope the  System Advisor has caught them
by now, Pris was really good to us.  Ken thought the problem was with our
Computer and tried everything he could think of to get it working, but no
luck .  Pris told him to bring it in to them and He did and they have it
working great for us.  Very good and kind people running it.

Oh, I must tell you I sent (telepathically) special dust to Marv's 51lb.
seeds.  They are destined to do great and marvelous things,  I can only hope
they're good things ,though...with lots of tlc nothing is impossible.

Happy Holidays, to you and the Family.

Ken and Pat.
